Spatial Showcase submission

Spatial Showcase submission guidelines

The Spatial Showcase is a platform to celebrate, share, and inspire through spatial design in all its forms, from maps and posters to cross-sections, papers, and everything in between. Whether it’s an analytical GIS project, a conceptual visual, or a beautifully designed section drawing, we want to see the many ways you visualize and present spatial ideas.

While access to the full Spatial Showcase is reserved for members, we recognize that many works are created through collaboration. So, submissions are welcome from all students.

The Spatial Showcase is all about sharing work you're proud of. Creative, thoughtful designs that deserve to be seen and can inspire others.
