WINNER

Dr Kenneth Field, Kingston University London and Dr Linda Beale, Imperial College London
Geo-Genealogy of Irish Surnames Map
Highly original and innovative product,
demonstrating a good fusion between GIS and cartography. Imaginative use of GIS for the challenging subject matter. Some design aspects, including the background and the size of type in the table, detract slightly from the main theme, and the key should have been larger and more prominent. But these are minor failings in an otherwise very successful and marketable product.
Dr Kenneth Field is presented with the award.

Huge amount of information presented in a clear way. Generally a good choice of cartographic design techniques, colours, etc, and also good editorial control over
area to be mapped, insets, etc. It has, though, taken a fairly traditional approach with little cartographic innovation and may have benefitted from greater integration between the maps and the text. Overall an excellent solution to a very ambitious project.
