The AGI celebrating excellence in the geospatial Sector
Showcasing innovation, achievements, and best practice, the AGI Awards celebrate excellence in geospatial and are open to any individual, group or organisation that can demonstrate and communicate success through the use of geographic data, knowledge or technology.
With the exception of the Chris Holcroft Award, all awards will require a submission, and entries will be judged by an independent panel of thought leaders and geospatial experts from academia, commerce, and professional organisations.
The AGI will present its Awards for Excellence at the UK’s largest geospatial event GEO Business. Working with event organisers Diversified Communications, the Association will also have a significant presence on the show floor, which it will use to make announcements about new AGI Networks, forthcoming surveys and research activities, and outreach events.
We are presenting this award in honour of the late Chris Holcroft. Chris was known to many in the geospatial community, notably through his work and leadership of the Association for Geographic Information 2007-2012 when he was instrumental in allowing AGI members’ voices to be heard by government and industry.
This award celebrates recognition and contribution to the UK Geospatial Industry and will be chosen and awarded by AGI Chair Fergus Craig.
This award is open for professionals who have demonstrated and communicated success through the use of geographic data, knowledge or technology.
This award is open for nominations of professionals within the first 10 years of their geospatial career.
This award is open to submissions from projects that relate to one of the six Foresight Themes:
The award for Environment and Sustainability celebrates geospatial projects, applications and products that contribute to the sustainability of people to co-exist on our planet. This could be impacting a small change in a local area or tackling one of the larger issues facing our world today.
This award recognises ground-breaking advancements in geospatial technology, whether through new processes, software, hardware, data collection methods, or innovative applications of AI, automation, or big data. It celebrates forward-thinking solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible in the industry.
