Also, the call for submissions to the 46th CaGIS Annual Map Design Competition for maps created or published during 2018 is now circulating.<\/p>\n
Student mapmakers in a certificate, diploma, or degree program (bachelor, masters, doctorate) must have produced their entries with student facilities as part of an accredited course. Student entries must be verified via the instructor. Winning entries will be displayed at a number of national and international professional functions and will then become part of the permanent collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. Digital images of winning entries will also be provided (with permission) to educators and teachers as examples of excellent map design for their students.<\/p>\n
There are no fees for student entries and the student award consists of a cash prize ($500) and a copy of Avenza MAPublisher. There are two categories that you can enter: the Arthur Robinson Award for Best Printed Map (a map or map series designed specifically for print media), and the David Woodward Award for Best Electronic Map- a map or series of related maps designed specifically for electronic media (i.e., DVD, the Web, or a mobile app).<\/p>\n
Submit your entry by January 31, 2019. Complete an application form and submit it with one full-size print copy of your map or map product and mail it to Daniel Cole at the Smithsonian Institution.
