2021 ICA Children’s Map Competition


Students up to 15 years old can enter their map drawings in the 2021 Children’s Map Competition, sponsored by the International Cartographic Association (ICA), with the theme A Map of My Future World. Kids are encouraged to tap into their creative imagination and mapping superpowers to represent their world of tomorrow, ten years, or one hundred years from now. Students can create an entry themselves, or in teams of two or three.

Six finalists will be selected to represent the U.S. in the Barbara Petchenik Children’s World Map Exhibition at the ICC in December 2021. Maps by the international finalists may be featured on the ICA website, published in books, and used on UNICEF calendars and cards. CaGIS and the NCGE will give certificates and prizes, such as books and maps, to the entrants to further inspire our next generation of mapmakers. Visit the CaGIS website to see an inspirational video and learn more.
