Bizarre Map Challenge 01/25/2010
Calling all undergraduate / community college students! I saw this ad for a "Bizarre Map Challenge" and thought some of you might be interested in submitting a map. The challenge doesn't start until March 1 and goes through March 22nd - so perfect timing for final projects. The grand prize is $5,000, so it could be worth the effort. Click here for the flyer with all the details. The AAG Marble fund for Geographic Science is accepting applications for the 2010 Marble-Boyle Undergraduate Achievement Awards. The awards recognize excellence in academic performance by undergraduate students from the United States and Canada who are putting forth a strong effort to bridge geographic science and computer science as well as to encourage other students to embark upon similar programs. Each of the Marble-Boyle Undergraduate Achievement Awards consists of a cash prize of $700, a $200 credit for books published by the ESRI Press, and a certificate of recognition. Priority consideration is given to any of the awardees who may be interested in participating in ESRI's summer internship program. Marble- Boyle awardees will also be eligible to compete for an additional research fellowship award that is being offered by the MicroGIS foundation for Spatial Analysis (MfSA), which includes access to research facilities and all transportation and housing costs for up to four months of work in Lausanne, Switzerland. Information on eligibility, application guidelines, and prior awardees is available at www.aag.org/grantsawards/marble_boyle.htm. Digital submissions to grantsawards@aag.org are due by October 15, 2009. At the Journal of Maps we have recently moved over to having a Google Maps map on the main page showing the location of maps we have published in the journal. Its not exciting or pretty, but does the job. However we thought it about time we ran a competition to develop the best Google Maps mashup. The rules are simple: use the JoM GeoRSS feed (http://journalofmaps.com/about.php?helpfile=smartyRSS.xml) and Google Maps APIs to do something interesting, useful, unique. The map can be designed to load in to the current space on the main page OR load in to a separate window. Every *legitimate* entry to the competition will get a printed copy of our 2008 Best Map (http://www.journalofmaps.com/about.php?helpfile=smartyBestMap.html). For the winner there is £200 payable via PayPal. The contest runs from now until 11:59pm on Thursday, 31 December 2009. Entry is straightforward: just email googlemap@journalofmaps.com giving a grief description of the project and a link to the code or project home page. | ArchivesFebruary 2012 CategoriesAll |
