UW GIS Day Student Project Competition – Extended Deadline, Modified Requirement and Bigger Prizes!

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.

See the GIS Day website for further details and to register or email Steven Walters at swalt826@u.washington.edu with questions.
