Moving in the opposite direction of that last blog post, we have some great news to announce!

Last night, the Pre-Raphelite Online Resource pipping Channel 4 and Teachers TV to win a highly covetted BETT Award for best Digital Collection and Resource Banks.

The BETT Awards is an annual scheme that highlights exemplar digital products intended for the education marketplace. The BETT Awards is produced by Emap Connect, the organisers of the largest educational technology show in the world - BETT. The BETT Awards is made possible by working in association with Becta, the Government's lead agency for ICT in education, and BESA, the trade association representing the educational supply industry.

The site was primarliy designed for use in education, so to be recognised and awarded by BETT is a massive, honorable achievement.

We've said it before, but we'll say it again, this is soley the result of trust by the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery's project team in our ideas and decisions.

It is very rewarding to know that the site will be used for a worthwhile educational purpose.

Well done all.
