I’m reposting this announcement as a standalone thread in the hope that more people will see it.
You have time until July 23rd to nominate fellow mappers for the OpenStreetMap Awards 2025. There are seven categories to choose from. I’m sure there’s someone in your local community who deserves a spotlight for the great work they do.
Folks, I need your help with OpenStreetMap awards. The deadline for submitting nominees is looming, and we’ve got too few. Each category needs at least twenty to make sense, and for some, we got like two.
This needs some archive work. Like, open WeeklyOSM or big community discussions (before April 1st), and add people, projects, and teams you think made the OSM in general slightly better.
Maybe in the future, the “Writing” category could be renamed to something broader like “Media” or “Content Creation”, to also include videos. That would allow people to nominate, in addition to writing, interesting talks, tutorials, podcast episodes ecc. Just an idea I had.
