Huge congratulations from the Naomi Korn Associates Team to Blackpool’s Showtown Museum, who has won Permanent Exhibition of the Year at the 2025 Museums + Heritage Awards! The winners were announced at the awards ceremony on Thursday 15th May at the London Hilton Park Lane. Everyone at Naomi Korn Associates is thrilled for the team at Showtown, and also extends our best wishes to all the amazing projects that were shortlisted for such a prestigious award. 

A fantastic addition to Blackpool’s cultural scene, Showtown commissioned Naomi Korn Associates to provide rights clearance support in 2023, including auditing the exhibition’s content to identify what is in copyright, drafting rights clearance letters and agreements, tracing rights holders and contacting them to clear rights to reproduce and display images, film, audio recordings in the galleries. The team at Naomi Korn Associated were thrilled to support such an exciting project and to watch as our rights clearance support brought to life the stories, experiences and exhibits. 

If you have a project that will be using third party copyright content, we would be delighted to help and can provide you with rights clearance support including: 

  • Guidance documentation for risk management and rights clearance strategy (copyright status, due diligence, orphan works and appetite for risk) 
  • Rights clearance procedures 
  • Rights identification and research 
  • Tracing and negotiating licences 
  • Tracing rights holders and reasonable searches 
  • Orphan works analysis and advice 
  • Checking privileged sources of information 
  • Risk assessments where clearances have not been sought 
  • Drafting template letters and forms
