The Hand Drawn Map Association is looking for new submitted hand drawn maps to be included in their book being published by the Princeton Architectural Press. Submissions should be received by the end of April 2009.
If you don't already know, the maps that are part of the Hand Drawn Map Assocation collection are created by the people and range from maps they drew to show friends how to get somewhere or maps of imagenary lands. The collection is really neat and can be viewed online.
