Nick
I have asked organisers to send me the photo of the presentation and the
citation text as soon as possible.
It will also eventually appear here:

>> Opencyclemap has received a Commended Award in the British
Cartographic Society annual awards. It was in the Avenza-sponsored Electronic
Mapping category. Last night I was a guest of the BCS at their annual gala
dinner and accepted the award on behalf of Andy Allan, who was not able to be
there. Andy and I had put the application together, carefully ensuring we met
the criteria of the awards, and providing full details of the gestation and
generation of the project. We were in a category against some heavyweight
commercial entries, as you may see when the full results are available. This is
fantastic recognition from peer cartographers of the excellence of this
particular use of OSM data. So, congratulations to Andy, and all others who
have had input to this particular development. A photo of the presentation and
the actual citation will be put up on the blog as soon as it is available and
full details of the awards and the winners will be linked from there too.
