The competition opened on August 29th, but students can register and submit their entries all the way up until November 11th. Again, this is to put the contest into the rubric of your fall term coursework or internship experience.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> Thanks and good luck!!!<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> Esri Global Content Challenge! <a href="http://go.esri.com/content-challenge">http://go.esri.com/content-challenge</a> <o:p></o:p> Esri is challenging students all over the world to unleash the power of Esri content by way of their own geographic analyses, visualizations, predictive models and more to tell a compelling scientific story.
