The Medway Culture and Design Awards 2008 are a celebration of excellence in Medway. In addition to the specific categories in culture and design, there are four awards open to entrants from across the disciplines.
Below are details of the special achievements awards. The judges will also be selecting entrants nominated in other categories who, in their opinion, also meet the criteria for the special achievement awards.
Entries in each category must demonstrate some or all of the requirements set out below. The special achievement categories are:
Best newcomer
This award is for outstanding achievement from a new cultural or design practitioner at an embryonic stage of their career.
This award will go to an individual or organisation demonstrating:
- outstanding motivation;
- drive and determination to succeed;
- innovation and business creativity;
- good business practice, commercial success, or potential for future growth.
Medway’s best-kept secret
This can cover any cultural or design achievement, service, offer, project or object that has had a positive impact on the local community - anything from the best bacon sandwich or local brewer to a hidden mural or a local unknown arts club.

People’s Choice Supported by Arriva, this is a special award that is not decided by a judging panel but by the public of Medway. A number of entries will be selected from across various categories of the culture and design awards 2008 and these will be up for a public vote to find the eventual winner. We will be working with our media partner, the Medway Messenger, to publicise the People’s Choice award.
