This year marks the third annual Best Student Geologic Map Competition at the GSA Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. The competition will highlight student research from around the world that utilizes field mapping and the creation of geologic maps as a major component.

Students must submit their abstract by 11 August 2015 to any GSA Session and select the appropriate box on the form to be considered for the geologic map competition. The top three student geologic maps will be selected for recognition and awards at a special judging session at the GSA Annual Meeting.
