ICA and IMIA Recognition of Excellence in Cartography

Every year, two exemplary maps are chosen from the hundreds of entries in the Map Gallery of the Esri User Conference to receive the prestigious ICA-IMIA Excellence in Cartography Award (ICA-IMIA-Award). This award is jointly sponsored by the International Cartographic Association and the International Map Industry Association. Presented annually since 2016, this award promotes and recognizes excellence in map design and advancement in cartography. Judges select from all registered submissions in the Map Gallery the two maps that they have determined best exhibit excellence in all aspects of cartographic design and production.
