exception of the additional category, “Best of

categories below. In addition, an individual may
submit a second entry as part of a team (in the
same or another category).
Important

elements used for presentation of spatial data
as appropriate. These may include but are not
limited to: north arrow, legend, scale bar,
units of measure, map projection etc.
First,

Third Place plus Honorable Mention Awards will be given for
the following categories:
| Category |
Explanation |
Spatial
Analysis or
Visualization |
Use
of analytical techniques to reveal
spatial or thematic data relationships,
analyze patterns, or otherwise enhance
our understanding of spatially-related
phenomena. This category also may
include high impact posters that rise
above the ordinary through the creative
use of 3-D views, innovative color
shading, imagery, unusual viewpoints, or
other "special effects." |
Project
Presentation |
Best
example of a specific project which used
GIS to accomplish its goals or of a
process that ties GIS into business
processes. Poster displays showing work
flows and project development over time
are encouraged. This category may also
includes examples of GIS used as a tool
for outreach to share the results of
projects with the general public,
managers, policy-makers, and other
non-specialists. |
Student
Entry |
Undergraduate-
and graduate-level college students are
encouraged to submit poster entries.
General requirements as noted in Spatial
Analysis/Visualization, or Project
Presentation apply but student entries
will be judged in a separate
“student” category. Please include a
description of the entry. |
