2026 Prize for Projects in Map History
The International Society for the History of the Map (ISHMap) is pleased to invite nominations and self-nominations for its Prize for Projects in Map History.
The ISHMap Prize in for Projects in Map History, awarded every two years and presented at the ISHMap General Assembly, will recognize a project that explores the history of maps and mapping outside of the format of an academic paper, book, or edited collection in a way that increases accessibility and engagement with maps and map history through innovative presentations. The prize will uplift projects that seek to expand the subjects, audience, scope, and/or methodology of engaging with the history of maps and mapping. Projects can take many forms including, but in no way limited to, physical exhibitions, datasets, online exhibitions, multimedia projects such as podcasts and films, thematic maps, games, and digital products.
The prize, to be announced at the Society’s General Meeting during the ICHC in July 2026, will consider projects that debuted or were substantively updated in 2024 and 2025.
Please use this submission form to apply.
Deadline for nominations and self-nominations is December 31, 2025.
