Two deadlines for the 2025 instalment of the prestigious bi-annual Prix Carto1, awarded by the Swiss Society of Cartography (SSC), are approaching:
- Submissions until April 30 will be part of the Map Exhibition at the International Cartographic Conference (ICC) in Vancouver.
- The window for Prix Carto 2025 submissions will definitely close on June 30.
Submissions for the 2025 awards can be handed in online.
For context: The SSC Prix Carto award night will be held in autumn. The event celebrates innovative and outstanding cartographic products with a connection to Switzerland. The Prix Carto 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.
