The Society invites nominations for the Society’s Prize for Projects in Map History, established at the 2020 General Meeting.
The ISHMap Prize in for Projects in Map History, awarded every two years and presented at the ISHMap General Assembly, will recognize a project that explores the history of maps and mapping outside of the format of an academic paper, book, or edited collection in a way that increases accessibility and engagement with maps and map history through innovative presentations. The prize will uplift projects that seek to expand the subjects, audience, scope, and/or methodology of engaging with the history of maps and mapping. Projects can take many forms including, but in no way limited to, physical exhibitions, datasets, online exhibitions, multimedia projects such as podcasts and films, thematic maps, games, and digital products. The prize, to be announced at the Society’s General Meeting during the ICHC in July 2024, will consider projects that debuted or were substantively updated in 2022 and 2023.
The full prize description and the submission form are both available.
Deadline for nominations and self-nominations is December 31, 2023.
