The Swiss Society of Cartography (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Kartografie, SGK) is set to host the prestigious bi-annual Prix Carto awards during its autumn meeting in 2025. This event celebrates innovative and outstanding cartographic products with a connection to Switzerland. The award highlights excellence in cartography, geomatics, and geovisualization, offering recognition across multiple categories.
Besides its main category, the Prix Carto also includes two special awards to foster young talent: the “Prix Carto – start”, aimed at school students and apprentices, and the “Prix Carto – edu”, designed for university students and adults in training programs. Both of the “young talent” awards carry a prize of 500 Swiss Francs.
Submissions for the 2025 awards are now open, with participants required to submit their entries through an official form on the SGK website. The SGK encourages widespread participation from both seasoned professionals and emerging talents.
