Maps don’t just show us where to go - they have the potential to transform our ways of seeing and understanding our world. The U-Spatial Mapping Prize encourages students at the University of Minnesota to make provocative and innovative maps and will award substantial prizes in different categories (over $3,000 in cash awards). The U-Spatial Mapping Prizes are made possible by a generous gift from U of M alumnus Jack Dangermond, founder and president of Esri.

Air Operations Planning Map Series: Scott Glacier
(2015) Clementz, Michael
Air Operations Planning Map Series: Scott Glacier is one of a series of 12 maps that will be created by the Polar Geospatial Center at the University of Minnesota for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). This particular map was created using Esri ArcMap and the map extent was selected from the SCAR International Map of the World. This map will eventually be used by individuals working in Antarctica to help them in their air operations. As the map states, the size of the printed map document is 28” x 24”.

Sidewalk Poetry in the Streets of Northfield: Library Tour
(2015) Paddock, Paul; Spensley, Phillip; Kruggel, Jasper
An interactive story map tour of sidewalk poetry throughout one of Minnesota's historic river towns. This story map library tour application shows where various lines of poetry are stamped within the area sidewalks and neighborhoods of Northfield, MN. The tour is also accompanied with pictures and audio clips for map users to view/play back each poem if they desire. To engage, the map user chooses a section from tabs at the top and selects a poem either by numbered tag on the map, or from a thumbnail strip on the bottom. The map then zooms to that location and reveals that poem's panel. Each poem marker was GPS'ed, photographed, and indicated by a stop number which, once clicked, shows the poem's picture, text, and sometimes an audio clip read aloud by a Northfield resident. Essentially the app is used in a guided touring fashion, noting each stop in order on the map. The app itself was produced as part of a project for the Northfield Arts and Culture Commission, but intended for its residents and the public for artistic appreciation and hope to share aspects of the town's culture/values to people regardless of their location. People can explore these poems and let their words resonate with them not only at each stop, but in the comfort of their whereabouts. An average of 9-10 poems are selected each year to be stamped in different neighborhoods around town. Many are placed in the historic downtown area. Other copies are seen in residential neighborhoods. The Sidewalk Poetry Project in Northfield began in 2011 and expresses core missions to celebrate the role of the arts in supporting a high quality of life, enhancing economic vitality, fostering a sense of community, and engaging citizens of all ages, abilities, and interests in making and appreciating the arts.
Air Operations Planning Map Series: Marie Byrd Land
(2016) Clementz, Michael
This 1:1,000,000 map of Marie Byrd Land is part of a six-map series developed by Michael Clementz, a Graduate Research Assistant at the Polar Geospatial Center (PGC). These maps are the United States Antarctic Program's contribution to a collaborative international project to produce air operations planning maps with coverage of priority areas in Antarctica. The objective was to provide standardized maps for science and operations planning. The maps replaced smaller, out of date maps that lacked current and accurate datasets. The map series in its entirety shows that international collaboration can produce an important operational resource for the Antarctic Community that extends beyond the scope of each individual organization. This map was created using Esri ArcMap and the size of the printed map document is 30” x 43”.

Discovery
(2016-05) Reim, Carl P
This story map walks readers through the routes taken by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-1904), commonly referred to as the Discovery Expedition. Led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the party spent two winters on Ross Island from which they led many scientific and exploratory excursions. Based on charts created by members of the expedition, this story map outlines the extent of the expedition as they traveled to, from and across the Frozen Continent. Additional media sources are used to help viewers walk in the steps of some of the earliest Antarctic explorers.
