The Dibner Award for Excellence in Museum Exhibits was established in 1985, through the generosity of Bern Dibner, to recognize excellence in museums and museum exhibits that interpret the history of technology, industry, and engineering to the general public. Exhibits are eligible for this award if they have been open to the public for no more than 24 months before the deadline for nominations. Virtual exhibits are not eligible for the award.

The award consists of a plaque and up to $1,000 to cover expenses for a member of the design team to accept the award at the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) awards banquet. Deadline for nominations for the 2015 prize is 1 May 2015 (for the 2016 prize, the deadline will be 15 December 2015).
