Terms of the Award

The fourth biennial Imago Mundi Prize will be awarded in 2011 to honour the Imago Mundi article judged to have made the most significant contribution to the discipline.

The judges will consider articles published in the 2009 and 2010 issues (volumes 61 and 62). The winner will receive $1000 and will automatically qualify for a J.B. Harley Travel Award to the next International Conference on the History of Cartography (Moscow, Russia, 2011). The winner will also receive a certificate, which, if he or she is able to attend, will be presented at the conference.

Full length articles will be eligible for the Prize, but not shorter articles, since only full length articles are automatically subject to the (anonymous) external refereeing process before acceptance for publication. Directors of Imago Mundi Ltd (who take it in turns to serve on the panel of judges) are not eligible for consideration.

The Imago Mundi Prize is generously sponsored by Kenneth Nebenzahl.
