Subject: [HIGHERED-L] Announcing Esri's New Global Content Challenge
Dear colleagues and students,
Now that terms have started at most colleges and universities, please consider spreading the word about an exciting
new contest from Esri. It was designed to also be incorporated into coursework throughout your fall term if you so desire, or to at least announce in class. The competition opened on August 29th, but students
can register and submit their entries all the way up until November 11th. Again, this is to put the contest into the rubric of your fall term coursework or internship experience.
Thanks and good luck!!!
Esri Global Content Challenge! http://go.esri.com/content-challenge
Esri is challenging students all over the world to unleash the power of Esri content by way
of their own geographic analyses, visualizations, predictive models and more to tell a compelling scientific story. The story must be presented using the Esri Story Map Journal app. We'll point you to the best of our data and our map journal tips and tricks.
You do the rest! Judges will select the best map journals to be awarded prizes. Esri will also share the winning Map Journals on our Collaborative Resource Portal and feature them at Esri’s Federal GIS and Education User Conferences, and Young Professionals
Network events.
Esri's Global Content Challenge is open to undergraduate or graduate students at colleges or universities, as well as U.S. high school students enrolled in an Advanced Placement
Human Geography or Environmental Science course. Get creative by using Esri's
land, ocean, and population premium content libraries to tell compelling stories that bring about understanding and action.
Prizes:
There will be winners
in each of three categories (land, ocean, and population) who will receive:
First Place: $10,000 or software equivalent
Second Place: $5,000 or software equivalent
Third Place: $2,000 or software equivalent
