Peer Award 2026

Many colleagues go above and beyond to advance their council’s use of gazetteer data or support the wider DCA community. GeoPlace’s Peer Award recognises these outstanding contributions and achievements by Address and Street Custodians across England and Wales.

This award is nominated by you—for a colleague whose work deserves wider recognition.

Do you know someone who has:

• made a significant contribution to DCA governance or national/regional activities?
• supported Technical Working Groups?
• collaborated creatively with other Custodians to resolve issues?
• raised awareness of the benefits of address and street data within their authority?
• consistently offered helpful advice, support, or networking excellence, perhaps through their regional group or on the Khub?
• excelled in establishing the gazetteer as a valued asset?

Whether through dedicated community involvement, consistent high performance, or going over and above their daily job, this is your opportunity to nominate a deserving peer.

Nominations for the GeoPlace Peer Award 2026 are now open. All entries will be carefully reviewed and judged by GeoPlace representatives.

Nominate today and help celebrate the people who make our gazetteer data community stronger.
