“One of the aims of the BCS is to encourage better mapping by providing medals and prizes to individuals or companies who have shown excellence in this field.”

For the past 30 years, The John C Bartholomew Award has recognised excellence in the field of small scale mapping. This year HarperCollins through Collins Bartholomew, in association with the Bartholomew family and the BCS are happy to continue this tradition.

This award is given for originality and distinction in the field of thematic cartography (non-topographic, 1:100,000 scale or smaller), with the emphasis on effective communication of the theme or themes. The winner will receive a cheque for £500 (from HarperCollins and the Bartholomew family), a crystal trophy (to keep) and a framed certificate.
