Since 2016 the Osher Map Library has sponsored a mapmaking contest for Maine's 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Each year hundreds of students submit maps to the contest which are then judged by a panel of esteemed cartographic experts (OML staff and volunteers). The winning mapmakers receive prizes for themselves and their classrooms.

Interested in participating? Each spring you can submit your entries using this online submission form.
