Exemplar Awards 2026
GeoPlace's Exemplar Awards celebrate outstanding contributions to the management and innovative use of street and address data across England and Wales. A highlight of our annual conference, the awards showcase best practice and recognise the vital work of Custodians, SNN Officers and data teams.
Address and street data provides immense value to local government, linking datasets for insights and supporting the integration of processes to deliver better services. Accurate, up-to-date, and well-maintained data is essential to these successes, and the awards are designed to celebrate the role you play in enabling them.
Winning, or even entering, an Exemplar Award:
- raises the profile of your work within your authority
- demonstrates validation of data quality to service users
- inspires others to harness consistent, reliable address and street data in their own projects.
The closing date for entries is 17.00 on Thursday 30th April 2026.
