The Oklahoma Museums Association has announced the winners of its 2007 Annual Awards Program. The awards recognize outstanding achievement by museums and individuals throughout the state during the past year. Award categories include exhibitions, promotional piece, publication, web site, newsletters, conservation projects and education programs. The competition is divided into four budget categories. In addition, certificates of recognition honor the contributions of an individual, group, or business to Oklahoma museums or a specific museum or community. 

The Frank Phillips Home received an award for its outstanding new website at www.frankphillipshome.org.  Packed with information, photos and movies, the website offers something to interest all ages.  Jim Goss, Director/Curator gives credit to web designer, Sandy Lee.  “Sandy has done a remarkable job of capturing the spirit and history of the Home for people to enjoy worldwide”.   

Award recipients were honored at a luncheon on September 28, 2007 at the Elk City Civic Center in Elk City during Oklahoma Museums Association’s annual statewide conference.  With more than 430 members, the Oklahoma Museums Association supports Oklahoma museums in their efforts to educate, inform and entertain.
