Calling all students who love or use maps! Design a map using publicly available data or your original datasets and any software of your choice. Enter the map in celebration of Geographic Information System (GIS) Day (November 20), sponsored by University Libraries. No specialized GIS skills or GIS software is required to enter the competition and all Nebraska students (undergrad & graduate) are welcome to enter their map to try to win one of three prizes.

The deadline to submit your map is October 25. All maps entered in the competition will be posted online and judged by a select group of faculty and staff. Competition finalists will have their maps on display in Love Library (Nov. 18-22).

Participants can use publicly available data or their original datasets. Proper attribution and data sources must be provided. Participants can use any software of their choice to create their maps. E.g., ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, QGIS, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and many other non-GIS software.

Plans for a possible GIS Conference Day are underway with partners in the School of Natural Resources, and the School of Global Integrative Studies.
