MAPPS Awards to Honor Excellence in Geospatial Products and Services
MAPPS has introduced the Geospatial Products and Services Excellence Awards. This new annual awards programme will recognise the professionalism, value, integrity and achievement of MAPPS member and associate member firms in specific projects. The 2007 Awards will be presented at the MAPPS Summer Meeting being held 16th -20th July 2007, at the Mount Washington Resort at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire (USA).
Kurt Allen, Vice President of Photo Science Inc., and current MAPPS President says: “As we celebrate the MAPPS 25th Anniversary, this awards program can showcase the high professional standards to which MAPPS members hold themselves as they provide geospatial products and services.”
A panel of five judges representing diverse aspects of the geospatial profession will evaluate project submissions in six categories: airborne and satellite data acquisition, photogrammetry/elevation data generation, remote sensing, GIS/IT, small projects, and technology innovation. Judges will select one winning project from each category as well as an overall winner who will receive the Grand Award for MAPPS Project of the Year.
