Are you a student who has made an interactive or animated map ? Do you like fame and money? If yes, consider submitting your map to the 2010 NACIS Student Web Mapping Competition<\/a>. The winner of each category (interactive and animated) walks away with a cool $500 prize<\/strong>. The winning maps will be presented in a couple of weeks at the NACIS annual meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida, and usually are featured on the NACIS web site until the next year. I had the honor of winning this prize a few years ago, but like a fool I blew all the money on sandwiches for my friends.<\/p>\n These were supposed to be due about a week ago, but the deadline has now been extended to October 1<\/strong>. (That is official, although the website may not reflect the update.) So students, hurry and send in your best! It’s a good place to have your work recognized, and we all like to look at cool maps. Check the NACIS site for details<\/a> on who and what is eligible and how to submit your entry.<\/p>\n NACIS (the North American Cartographic Information Society) is a professional\/academic association of cartographers, and it comes highly recommended as a community of people whose careers and studies are dedicated to maps. If you might call yourself a cartographer, consider joining<\/a> NACIS and attending the annual meeting<\/a> sometime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you a student who has made an interactive or animated map ?
