British Cartographic Society Award Winners 2013

The British Cartographic Society (founded in 1963, and celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year) has been recognising good map design through their Awards since 1978. The Awards system is designed to encourage entrants across all cartographic disciplines, and to showcase products created through traditional, new or experimental techniques. They aim to promote the best of cartographic products and highlight excellent cartographic design in the UK and abroad. 

The 50th Anniversary Symposium was held at Hothorpe Hall, Leicestershire and welcomed 11 past presidents back to The BCS to join in the celebrations.

Congratulations to all the award winners and runners up of 2013. Please see the website for more details on each winner. http://www.cartography.org.uk/awards
