Two were gold: the Cultural Skills Competition won in the Innovation in Business Information Apps category, and the Culture and Arts in the Urban Landscape Guide in Strategic Innovation in Government Publications.

Two silver awards went to the Culture Incubator, in Innovation in Business Information Apps, and to the Support for Program and Activity Implementation project, in Organizational Innovation. The ministry also received six bronze awards for other recent cultural projects and programs.
