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.

Hawa Adinani
Hawa has a background in Geography and Environment studies but through working with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and OpenMap Development Tanzania (OMDTZ) she has grown as a writer. She is enthusiastic and loves what she does; has written lots of inspiring articles and blogs on the major humanitarian projects done by HOT and OMDTZ.

I believe more people can learn from her work and she has potential to influence anyone with the passion of writing!
