It’s time to kick off the longest running Map Calendar in History….probably.
We are looking for 14 or so so submissions for the calendar. I think last year we had a few more. We have judges randomly picked from out long sorted history that help us dig through and rate the submissions.
You can read up here on what we are looking for!
- Your submission should be a map! Submit images please, (they’ll be printed after all), hi-res JPG or PNG, landscape orientation, 8 inches × 10.5 inches (20.32 cm × 26.67 cm) or proportional. See the sample below.
- Please note that we may opt to place a semi-transparent box containing author information (Name and/or handle), the GeoHipster logo, and, potentially, a calendar sponsor logo. Please consider this, as well as about 1/4″ for bleed and 1/2″ for margins in your map design. If you have a preference as to which corner the box should be placed in, please note that at the time of submission.
- While we want your map to be understood, past experience has taught us that lots of detailed explanatory text may not scale well and may be difficult to read when printed in the calendar. Please consider this in your design. We are more than happy to include any such information in the write-up about your map.
- It should be a map you made (potentially with colleagues).
The important part – Have FUN. You have until 10/23/26 at midnight to submit.
