the UK contribution to the exhibition you are invited to you to submit examples
of any cartographic products prepared or published by you since March 2011.
Please provide two copies of each item wherever possible; one copy will be
displayed in the International Map Exhibition in Dresden. The other copy will
be exhibited at a future BCS event and will be added to the BCS collection held
in the National Library of Scotland.
Entries

educational cartographic products; and other cartographic products (including
globes, tactile maps, etc).
For ALL entries, you must supply an image of the product (jpeg

image; for atlases this should be the cover; for digital products it should be
a screenshot; for education products it should be appropriate, as above; for
other products it should be a picture. Details of each entry must be completed
under the appropriate category on an excel spreadsheet which is available from
the BCS website: www.cartography.org.uk . The image files and spreadsheet should be sent as an e-mail attachment to:- david.forrest@glasgow.ac.uk no
