Entry Requirements
- Participation in the Awards must be on a school basis.
- No limitation on the maximum number of teams from each school.
- Contestants can participate as an individual or in a team of 2 to 6 people.
- Each contestant may only participate in one team.
Deliverable
Develop a web application showing a distribution map of a phenomenon or geographic features (e.g., recycle bins, barbecue sites, etc.,) as suggested by the theme. Also, adopt map reading and interpretation skills to describe and explain any distribution pattern observed (e.g., why features concentrate in some areas but not others, or why features are dispersed in a linear fashion or a regular pattern).
Requirements
- Use spatial data available at the CSDI portal where appropriate
- Focus on the distribution pattern as manifested on the map.
- Try to answer simple questions such as “where is it?”, “where does it occur?”, “what is there?”, “why is it there?”, “is there a distribution pattern?”, and so forth.
- Participants may stack up other spatially related maps to answer questions such as “what factors govern the distribution pattern?” or “what else is spatially associated with the phenomenon?” and so forth.
- Spatial analysis is not required for this category, but participants are free to employ it if they think it can help them to explain the distribution pattern better.
