The Washington Map Society is again offering the Ristow Prize competition for excellence in the history of cartography, with a deadline of 1 June 2021.This competition is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students in any institution of higher learning around the world (although papers must be in English). Information about the prize, and a list of past winners, can be found at
http://www.washmapsociety.org/Ristow-Prize.htm
Attached to this email is a long and short form information sheet about the Ristow Prize and the competition details. Is it possible to share information about the Prize, perhaps the short-form information sheet, in the Maps-L listserv? Please let me know if I should contact a different colleague, as I am working from an old list of contacts.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Katie
