The Silletto Prize recognises excellence in working with the local community and involving volunteers. 
It was awarded to the Muzej betinske drvene brodogradnje, Betina, Croatia.

This an excellent example of a museum which is an expression of the identity of a community, driven by vision, enthusiasm and commitment. Its collections have been donated by the people of the village, providing an insight into the traditional way of life linking the present and the past, and bringing younger and older people together.
Everyone involved in the museum’s activities, from the staff to the visitors, is strongly engaged with it. Because of its extraordinary commitment to social responsibility, it constitutes a model of relations between museum, community and local enterprises.
