Practitioners of visual, plastic, graphic, fiber or traditional arts and crafts. Performers, directors, or creators of theater, music, film or dance. Prize requisites with submission instructions can be picked up from the City Museum or downloaded from the museum's website: juneau.org/museum.

Continuing Exhibit Through October 18, 2021 Echoes of War: Unangax̂ Internment during WWII Echoes of War: Unangax̂ Internment during WWII brings attention to the history of the Unangax̂ internment camps in Southeast, Alaska. It is the story of the people of St. Paul and St. Geoarge (the Pribilof Islands) who experienced internment in Southeast Alaska at Funter Bay from June 1942 to May 1944, and their subsequent return home to the Pribilof Islands. Telling this story in the words of those who experienced it, we aim to highlight this event and shed light on a topic that is often excluded from history books and school curriculums around the country.
