Submissions open for Annual #2

The submission form for the Cartography Design Annual #2 is now open. Any map published in 2008 is eligible for inclusion. We will be collecting submissions until May 31st, 2009, at which point we will make our selections. You must submit a JPG, GIF, or PNG image of your map with the submission form. The file size is limited to 1MB, but these images will just be used for the selection process. If your map is selected we will contact you to get a high-resolution version.

While this is not technically a competition or an award, we will most likely not have room for all submissions, so maps will be chosen based on their design merits – aesthetic design and clarity of communication. You may submit as many maps as you would like, but each map should be submitted separately.

We hope to have the Cartography Design Annual #2 available for sale in early July. We are looking at new methods for printing and fulfilling the books to improve the quality and process.

We are also planning on offering reprints of maps featured in the Annual with permission form the copyright holders. If you choose to participate in the reprints, you will of course get a share of the proceeds. We will handle the transactions, printing, and fulfillment of the reprints, all you have to do is give us a press-ready file and permission.

If you have any questions you can contact us through this website.
