The ROUTLEDGE AWARD was initiated in 1997 by past president Derek Lyddon and is part of an agreement with Carfax.  It comprises once a year a mutual free advertisement for both ISOCARP and Routledge Publishing (Journals). Furthermore Routledge (formerly known as Carfax) gives an annual grant to ISOCARP. ISOCARP allocates this prize money to the Routledge Poster Exhibition during the annual ISOCARP Congress. It is one of ISOCARP‘s sponsored activities. This competition has stimulated great interest, especially among young members, and has produced many imaginative works.
