Like photographs, maps tell stories. The storytelling potential of maps has increased dramatically over the years with the evolution of geographic information system (GIS) technology, the Internet, and mobile applications. In recognition of this trend, Esri is inviting users to enter their most compelling web map or mobile app in the Storytelling with Maps contest. Entries will be judged on how effectively they make the subject matter interesting, understandable, and engaging. The contest starts April 29 and ends June 10. Winners will be announced in July at the 2011 Esri International User Conference in San Diego, California. Learn More
