WINNER

Rosemary Duncan
Hamps and Manifold Geotrail
Her entry, the Hamps and Manifold Geotrail, was commissioned by the Staffordshire Regionally Important Geological Sites.
The mapping is well referenced to the additional information surrounding it, including geo-sections, photographs and the descriptive text. The colour schemes and design are really eye catching and well balanced across the whole product with a very attractive layout. The format is well suited to the user, as a tour guide as well as a keepsake.
Unfortunately Rosemary couldn't attend in person and asked BCS President Mary Spence MBE to receive on her behalf.

Defence Geographic Centre
PCA Afghanistan
The judges felt that their entry of a PCA of Afghanistan was very successfully integrated from various sources, plus additional information, to fit together excellently. The terrain is well represented and combined with the vector data creates an effective map. The colours and symbolization are very good and meet criteria for end users.

British Antarctic Survey
Ryder Bay
Their entry, Ryder Bay, provides a detailed topographic map to aid safe travel in this rugged, glacial area. Photography and photogrammetry have been combined well in the making of this map to create a useful and concise depiction of such an unusual landscape. Un-chartered waters are identified clearly and contouring has been used effectively to enhance the aerial photos and combine excellently with the contents of the map.

Geo-Innovations
Departmental Responsibilities
This entry was commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and shows departmental responsibilities across the world.
The judges were very impressed by the good design and clarity of the map considering such a complicated topic. Very good choice of insets and layout leads to understanding the content and also shows relative issues that would be lost if displayed purely in list format. An intelligent and well designed answer to a problematical question.

Heritage Cartography
Burnley Map
Based on a 1st edition 1:10,560 map of Burnley, Lancashire this Victorian Town Map has been drawn traditionally and is intended for use by genealogical research as well as display. The judges felt that the typography and colour choice have led to creating a beautiful map that, due to it's unique development and brilliant craftsmanship promotes cartography to wider audiences perfectly and keeps the tradition alive.
