There’s just one month to go to get your entry in for the British
Cartographic Society (BCS) John C Bartholomew Award for Small Scale
Mapping, sponsored by Collins Bartholomew and The Bartholomew family.

Yes, it's that time of the year again when the BCS seek entries for
their range of awards recognising excellence in the field of
cartography. The categories cover the whole spectrum of mapmaking from
specialist digital cartography to small scale thematic mapping. These
awards are open to everyone such as established publishing and design
companies and new independent map makers and not just British
cartographers but worldwide entrants.

Collins Geo is proud to confirm that our digital data and custom mapping
arm Collins Bartholomew along with the Bartholomew family will once
again sponsor this award for small scale thematic cartography which
bears our founder's name. This award is presented for originality and
excellence in the field of thematic (non-topographic) mapping at scales
smaller than 1:100,000. Past winners have been so diverse as to include
a wildlife and low flying avoidance map from the British Antarctic
Survey, a map of key battles during the American Civil War, an undersea
map of the waters around New Zealand and a thematic atlas of China.

Entries can be accepted for whole publications, parts of publications,
or non-published maps. The entries will be judged on quality rather than
quantity, so the single map from a student thesis has as much chance as
the internationally distributed atlas from a major cartograp hic house!

The winner will be presented with a crystal trophy at the BCS Annual
Symposium in Nottingham, England 9-11 June 2010. They will then go
forward along with the winners of the other awards to decide the overall
BCS Award for 2010 (currently held by Collins for its joint Collins
Social Studies Atlas for Nigeria and Collins Keystart UK Atlas entry).

**Oh yes, there is also a £500 prize for the BCS John C Bartholomew
Award winner.**

The closing date is 26th February 2010, see details and entry form
