There is still time to register for the student project competition at the UW GIS Day event on November 14th 2012 – the deadline for project submissions has been extended to November 1st 2012!

In addition, the prize amounts have been generously increased to $150 for first place, $125 for second and $100 for third.  Lastly, for those who might have trouble being at their presentation during the scheduled time of 11-12, don’t let that stop you from registering: though it’s preferable if you can be there to talk about your fine work, you’ll still be eligible for the competition even if you can’t.
