OSM Awards 2020

This year, we are again presenting the OpenStreetMap Awards! Seven nominees will receive an award in seven categories at the State of the Map 2020 conference. This is a community award: you decide who the nominees are, before you vote for them.

Selecting Nominees: The awards committees are working on filtering the list of nominees to four or five for each category, using your submissions and votes. The voting will open on the 1st of June.

Ulf Möller Memorial Award

To individual contributors for making a difference to the OpenStreetMap project, through good mapping, benefit to the community and other improvements to the OSM. Any member who's been active at any time since 2004 is eligible for this award.

Blake Girardoux

Blake has been missing, it seems to me. He was a stalwart in the early days, and saved my bacon as a rookie. Having steady senior figures you can rely on is important for institutional trust. It is a 'lifetime contribution award' that he needs really. Anyway, that's my two pennies.

mavl

mavl is a member of the Russian OSM community and is active in the OSM Foundation's data working group. He patiently, carefully and politely rolls back all unlicensed edits. He has done a particularly good job recently in Russia, where a lot of supposedly paid cartographers have made a lot of unlicensed edits (preparing for the population census).

For his continuous mapping, having co-created and presided the French local chapter, developing of OSM tools, providing open data and aerial imagery for all France, animating the French community, co-organizing the State of the Map France, making sure OSM attribution is respected on French-speaking websites, maintaining OSM France servers...
