The North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) is an enjoyable society of map enthusiasts.
The North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) sponsors the Student Dynamic Map Competition to foster excellence and innovation in the field of interactive cartography. This initiative is divided into two categories: individual and group projects, aiming to celebrate high-quality, creative, and technically adept digital mapping efforts. Winners are announced at the NACIS annual meeting, where they can receive cash rewards, and all high-ranking maps are honored with award certificates. The competition emphasizes the importance of Concept and Originality, Cartographic Design, Interface Design, and Reliability/Compatibility in submissions.
