Two competitions are currently open to student submissions this month. Firstly, the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGS) department is seeking artwork from University of Redlands students on social justice topics by Nov. 17, 2023. Secondly, Redlands-based ESRI has a contest open worldwide, but also seeks student entries of conservation-themed ArcGIS StoryMaps by Oct. 27, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submissions of art are part of the WGS department\u2019s 16th Annual Social Justice Conference. The subject of the art should revolve around social justice topics and \u201cmay include, but are not limited to, our theme of bodily autonomy, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality,\u201d according to the flier for the contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two students working on the project, Ellie Faith-Maldonado and Isela Benavides, say one new aspect about this year\u2019s competition is a $200 prize for the winning entry. In addition, the winning artwork will be featured on the poster for the conference, held in March 2024, to celebrate Women\u2019s History Month. Other art submitted may also be displayed during the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those interested in entering can fill out a Google form<\/a> and email the art work to WGS@Redlands.edu<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For any questions, contact Dr. Jennifer Nelson, director of the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program, at Jennifer_Nelson@Redlands.edu<\/a>. Entries are due Nov. 17, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another contest open to students is through ESRI; a global company with its headquarters in Redlands, California. The company\u2019s ArcGIS software allows users to create StoryMaps, a way of telling a story by adding information and text to a map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The competition website states, \u201cMaps are an integral part of storytelling\u2014a story can effect change and create awareness about climate change and conservation. ArcGIS StoryMaps enables storytellers to easily combine text, maps, and interactive content to make an engaging story that informs and inspires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Winners and runner ups receive a certificate and social media recognition. Winners also receive an award at the 2024 ESRI Conference. The contest is world wide, and seeks conservation-themed entries to focus on \u201cthe restoration and conservation of the earth’s lands and waters,\u201d according to the contest information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Steven D. Moore, Director of the Center for Spatial Studies, encourages those interested in the contest to contact them early for any help needed with student entries. Entries are due Friday, Oct. 27, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More information is available here<\/a> and assistance is available from the Center for Spatial Studies at spatialstudies@redlands.edu<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo by Manuel Magallanes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two competitions are currently open to student submissions this month.
