David Miller, senior editor at the NGS was unable to attend this years symposium to present the award, however he would like to encourage more UK participation in the future. Unfortunately none of the winners are able to attend, and their certificates and prizes will be forwarded onto them.
WINNER
|
Paul A Light, COGS, Canada
National Parks & Historic Sites of Western Newfoundland and Labrador
The judges agreed this is a very pleasant piece of work giving much information in a clear uncluttered approach. Relatively simple in presentation, it does not overload the reader but tends more to draw his attention back to the subject matter encouraging the piece to be read rather than just looked at.

COMMENDED
|
Saiyed Shamim Raza, India
North Delhi Power Limited
The judges found this work interesting with respect to the combination of satellite imagery and mapping to help with the placement of power cables now and in the future. The project clearly illustrates the importance of maps for this type of work and how the GIS data can be manipulated to create maps with real cartographic integrity.
