Submission Deadline: July 7, 2008

Exhibit Your Work in the Map Gallery

Submit your map entry and upload your map files

Be part of the Map Gallery to showcase your innovative uses of GIS at the ESRI UC. You can enter as many maps as you choose. Many of these maps will also be selected and published in the annual ESRI Map Book.

Read all guidelines carefully before submitting your map entry.

Multimedia Map Gallery

Map Gallery multimedia entries portray the results of using ESRI technologies in a project or study but do not use ESRI software to run the presentation itself. Entry examples vary widely and in the past have include a digital atlas, map series, collection of animations, and a slide show detailing the steps of GIS projects.

Read all guidelines carefully before submitting your multimedia map entry.

Submit your map entry and upload your map files

ESRI UC^† registration and attendance required. You, or a colleague, must attend to your Map Gallery or Multimedia entry for one hour during the Map Gallery Opening and Evening Reception on Monday, August 4, to discuss and answer questions regarding your display.

Map Competition and Awards

Enter the map competition by selecting a category when you submit your map. The top three entries in each category will be recognized by Jack Dangermond, ESRI president, at the ESRI UC Closing Session. First place winners will receive a trophy.

All map entries are eligible for the People's Choice Award. During ESRI UC week, you can vote for your favorite entry.

Review the categories and get tips on how to create an effective map from two of last year's judges.

We encourage you to submit digital files of your entries that can be viewed online and at the awards ceremony. All digital entries will be searchable by keywords, author, and category. A thumbnail image will be generated automatically for each entry.
