The judges awarded the 2009 trophy to Twofour Broadcast for the television project ‘Make My Body Younger’ which was produced for BBC3 and was “a truly innovative concept that was well executed using high impact digital technology to create a health programme with a difference”.

Karen Stockdale of the Media Innovation Awards said, “We had an exceptionally high number of entries from the creative media industry across the region this year, and the judges have had a very difficult task selecting winners from such a wealth of talent. Twofour Broadcast’s use of innovative ideas makes it a deserving winner for the 2009 trophy.”

My company HMC Interactive was short listed along with Newangle, Machineshop and Sysco for the prestigious 2008 Museums and Heritage awards show for our work on the Weller Galleries at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. We were short listed in the Best use of Technology category and the Readers Choice award as well.

The award show was excellent fun, and it was great to see so many people in the UK working hard to make amazing visitor experiences in museums.

When I was a kid, museums always seemed so static, dull and boring, and unfortunately many still are. It’s down to the creative community to generate new and exciting ways of dealing with learning, education and interactivity to reach new audiences and amaze and inspire the next generation.

“We have once again been overwhelmed by both the number and quality of entries we have received for this year’s Awards for Excellence,” said Anna Preedy, Director of the Museums and Heritage Show and founder of the awards.

“Not only do the Awards provide a much needed platform to celebrate the incredible achievements of our cultural attractions, they also provide us all with an opportunity to share in the wealth of knowledge and experience that exists within our industry. We are looking forward to another fantastic Awards in 2009.”

The awards were judged by a panel of industry professionals, including: Bernard Donoghue, Head of Government and Public Affairs at VisitBritain; Diane Lees, Director of V&A Museum of Childhood; Matthew Tanner MBE, Director of ss Great Britain and Phil Reed, Director of the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms.
