NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AWARD IN MAPPING

Undergraduate students and masters-degree candidates are invited to
apply for the 2014 National Geographic Award in Mapping
<http://www.natgeomaps.com/mapawards> . This award recognizes student
achievement in the art, science, and technology of mapping and seeks to
encourage student research. 

The first place award consists of a cash prize of $900 (U.S.) and the
second place award is $300 (U.S.). Winners and honorable mentions also
will receive National Geographic atlases or other map products. 

This award is administered through the Association of American
Geographers (AAG) Cartography Specialty Group (CSG). Judging will be
completed by representatives from National Geographic and will be based
on the technical, aesthetic, and overall quality of the submission. The
award winners will be announced at the CSG business meeting at the 2014
AAG Annual Meeting in Tampa, FL. Applying students do not need to be
members of the AAG. 


HOW TO APPLY:

Following the strong tradition of production cartography at the National
Geographic Society, submission must be in the form of a static map in a
vector (e.g., pdf) or raster (e.g., jpg, tiff) format. While group work
is eligible for submission, the maximum numbers of students working on a
single team isthree. Entries must be completed as part of the student's
curriculum (i.e., not for a job, including freelance work); the
student's cartography instructor must confirm that the work was
completed for university credit by completing and scanning the online
form
<http://www.geography.wisc.edu/faculty/roth/NG_MapAward_SignatureForm.pd
f> .

Please include the following in your application package: (1) your map,
or a link for downloading your map (latter preferred); (2) a cover page
that includes your name, institutional affiliation, degree program (e.g.
M.S.), address, phone number, email, and cartography/GIS instructor's
name; (3) a one page statement that provides some context of the
submission (e.g., its purpose, how it may be used, how it was created,
its limitations, etc.) along with a paragraph on how this award will
help you with your educational plans; and (4) the completed form signed
by your cartography instructor.

Please apply by sending all materials digitally to Robert Roth (
reroth at wisc.edu). Submissions must be received by March 1st, 2014.
