Entries open for UNWDF ArcGIS StoryMaps Competition 2024

Deadline: 4 October 2024

Are you ready to make a global impact through data-driven storytelling? Whether you’re passionate about sustainable cities, public health, disaster response, or innovation in education, your skills can help shape a brighter future. With ArcGIS StoryMaps, you can transform your talents—whether in cartography, data analysis, photography, or design—into powerful narratives.

ArcGIS StoryMaps offers you the tools to weave together text, maps, and multimedia, creating place-based stories that don’t just describe challenges—they bring them to life. These stories have the power to highlight the urgency of global issues while simultaneously offering pathways to real, actionable solutions.

Themes

  • Innovation for better and more inclusive data
  • Maximizing the use and value of data for better decision-making
  • Building trust, protection and ethics in data
  • Effective partnerships for better data and a more equitable data ecosystem

Recognition

  • One (1) winner will be assigned for each Theme and for the Best Story Map Award.
  • All winners will receive a 2024 ArcGIS StoryMaps Competition certificate, and ArcGIS Personal Use License for one year. The winning Entries will be featured on the 2024 World Data Forum ArcGIS StoryMaps Website.

Judging Criteria

  • Winners will be selected for each Theme based on overall scores and highest score for each Theme. A prize winner will also then be selected based on the Partners’ selection for Best Overall Story Map the Partner will be looking for a story that includes maps, is engaging, communicates clearly, and makes effective use of ArcGIS StoryMaps.
  • The Partners will also assess the design of the maps, the choice of basemaps, the design of interactivity (e.g., pop-ups), and how well supporting content and customizations are integrated into the narrative. Entries must be “original work,” conceived, created, and completed entirely by the Applicant submitting the Entry.
  • Entries may use data or content generated by outside persons or institutions, so long as the use of such third-party data or content is used under written license or permission, within guidelines of “fair use” as described by the U.S. Copyright Act, or is in the public domain.

Eligibility Criteria

  • This Competition is open globally to individuals at least 18 years old, except for individuals who are residents of Cuba; Iran; North Korea; Crimea Region of the Ukraine; Syria; province of Quebec, Canada; Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) of the Ukraine; Russia; Belarus; and where prohibited by national, state, provincial, or any other governmental laws or regulations. Any access to Esri software, documentation, technical data and technology is subject to all applicable U.S. export control and trade sanctions laws and regulations. Employees of Esri and its international distributors, affiliates, and sister companies, including those individuals who were former employees within the last six months prior to the announcement date of the Competition, and such employees’ immediate families (spouses, parents, siblings, and children), including household members of each such employee or person, are not eligible to enter.
