Peer Award

Peer Awards 2021

This year, many colleagues have gone above and beyond to support their organisations’ aims for using location data. GeoPlace’s Peer Awards recognise those contributions to the community and the outstanding achievements within local authorities, by Address and Street Custodians working in England and Wales.

Most importantly, these awards are nominated by you.

You may know someone who’s made a major contribution to the overall DCA governance process; taken part in activities at a national or regional or county level; worked hard to support Technical Working Parties under tough conditions; found new ways to work with other Custodians on local issues – or done an outstanding job in raising awareness about the benefits of address and street information within their authority.

• Do you know someone who’s always ready to help, lend support, or pass on helpful advice?
• Is there a fellow Custodian you’d like to nominate for their work at a county, regional or national level? Someone who’s worked on behalf of the community through the DCA governance process?
• Can you nominate a fellow Custodian who consistently performs well? Perhaps someone who contributes to the wider community through membership of one of the Working Groups, or just deserves some recognition – because they’re doing a great job?
• Is there a Custodian who’s an exemplar at networking, or has done something exceptional to establish the gazetteer as a recognised asset in their authority?

This is your chance to nominate someone for GeoPlace’s Peer Awards 2021. The nominations will all be reviewed in detail and judged by representatives from GeoPlace (if you’d like to see who the regional chairs are, there are lists on this Khub page).

The closing date for Award entries is 26th April 2021.
