An action-packed 1st Quarter has already seen several hard-hitting maps entered into the 2024 WLIA Annual Map Contest! While we love the frenzied pace, sometimes it pays to slow the game down, huddle up, annnnd…enjoy a bit of poetry.  Once you're inspired, keep scrolling for some exciting news!


The Lambeau Leap to Cartography's Peak by Emily Berth

Submit your maps with skill and flair,

To the 2024 conference, we declare.

A championship trophy, the ultimate goal,

Your name in the Hall of Fame, a cherished role.

Like football heroes in a game,

In mapping, you can rise to fame.

Show your creativity and artistry,

With your maps, make history.

 

It's time to shine, your moment's near,

Don't let this opportunity disappear.

With maps that amaze and astound,

Claim your victory on hallowed ground.

 

So, mapmakers, make your play,

In the WLIA's grand display.

Submit your maps, let's all see,

The champions of cartography!


And if you liked that, wait until you see what else we have in store…

With halftime rapidly approaching the time has come to introduce the inaugural Youth category to the 2024 WLIA Annual Map Contest. That’s right, KID’S MAPS!

This promises to be a total game-changer so please check out the Rules and Release forms and get your Junior Cartographer in on the action!
