Fantastic For Families Virtual Awards Ceremony
Join Family Arts Campaign on Wednesday 22 November at 6.30pm to discover the winners of this year’s Fantastic for Families Awards.
The Fantastic for Families Awards celebrate the wealth of outstanding creative provision for families across the UK.
Now in its tenth year, the Fantastic For Families Awards is an annual programme celebrating the wealth of outstanding creative provision for families and older audiences across the UK.
The annual awards programme is open to UK based cultural organisations or cultural activity organisers, providing creative opportunities, activities, or initiatives for families and older audiences.
This year’s awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of family arts professionals in supporting both families and older audiences, particularly the most vulnerable and marginalised.
Awards will be given in the following categories:
Best Family Arts Activity
This category focuses on family arts activities. This award celebrates families’ overall enjoyment, the quality of the content provided and the suitability for family audiences and participants of all ages.
Best Age-Friendly Outreach
This category recognises outreach approaches, such as support or programming, provided specifically for older people. This could be through participation in age-friendly activities, events, supplying creative resources, or broader forms of support and outreach.
Audience Impact and Innovation Award
This category recognises the achievements of creative organisations or cultural event organisers who have demonstrated innovation and adaptability to reach and make a difference to families in need.
Book Tickets
Tickets are free but booking a ticket is necessary to confirm your place.
