The 2025 Competition is Closed
Check back later this year, or follow AGIC on their listserv or social media, to find out when the 2026 competition opens.
The Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) ArcGIS Online Student Competition challenges students across the state to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create and share ArcGIS StoryMaps focused on some topic about Arizona. They will use GIS to explore, analyze, and feature a topic with cultural, environmental, or other significant impact on the state. Students should answer an Arizona-based question, propose a solution to an Arizona-based problem, or address an Arizona-based issue of their choice.
The Competition is open to all Arizona students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Students will analyze, interpret, and present data through one or more maps and deliver through an ArcGIS StoryMap. Students must have an adult sponsor, either a teacher, a mentor, a parent, or other adult involved in the student’s education.
There is no fee to enter the competition and students will have access to GIS tools, including ArcGIS StoryMaps, either through their school or provided by the competition. Refer to the ArcGIS Online Accounts page for more details.
