The 2018 Tennessee 4-H GIS Contest rules and entry forms are available for down- load. The contest gives 4-H members an opportunity to demonstrate their geospatial knowledge and map making skills. Eligible youth may also apply for the opportunity to represent Tennessee on the National 4-H GIS/GIS Leadership

Team (GGLead) and attend its annual workshop at the Esri Education GIS Users Conference in San Diego, CA. That trip is made possible through generous sponsor- ship by the Tennessee Geographic Information Council, Inc. (TNGIC) and other donors.

The contest entry deadline is February 1, 2018. I wish we could make it later, but we need time to determine winners and submit GGLead applications by their deadline of February 16.

Remember, this is a virtual contest with all entries submitted electronically, eliminating the frustrations, time, and expenses of meeting judges in person or live via Zoom.
