The IndianaMap Contest is held in conjunction with the Indiana GIS Conference, and is a great way to introduce kids and young adults to geography, maps, and geographic information systems (GIS). Poster maps of all kinds can be entered, but the they must be made by the students (either made by hand or computer generated). Prizes will be awarded to the entries that demonstrate the map’s elements (e.g. title, map scale, north arrow, legend), artistic creativity, critical thinking appropriate to grade level, and neatness.
Posters should answer a grade-appropriate question using maps. For example:
• What kinds of trees are in my backyard?
• Where would my family go in an emergency (fire stations, schools, hospitals)?
• Where are my ancestors/relatives from?
• Which countries have the most people under age 21?
PRIZES!

All current Indiana K-12 students are eligible to participate. For more information, visit http://www.in.gov/igic/conference/posterk12.html. Deadline for entry is February 4, 2008.
