OpenStreetMap Awards/Nominations

This is a collective brain-storming for OpenStreetMap Awards nominations list. There will be around 20 nominations, for which we need at least 50-60 suggestions to choose from. The deadline for proposals is 23:00 UTC on 23th of July.

There are three categories: Technical for developers and related people, Mapping and Community for anything besides technical stuff, and Other for organizations, projects and dedicated awards we want to have. Please add your ideas for nominations to relevant lists. You can add an explanation if you want. And you can skip the "Best" word, since it is implied.

OSM Awards this year are supervised by the Communications Working Group and the OSMF Board. They will make the final list of nominations, and later they will select nominees for the short list.
