• Can participate as an individual or under school/organisation name
• No limit on the number of participating units per school/organisation
• Can participate individually or in a team (2-6 people)
• Each participant can only join one team

Every participating unit will be required to submit an interactive web map to show the location and spatial distribution of a phenomenon or geographic features, further adopting map reading skills to describe and explain any distribution patterns they observed (e.g., why features concentrate in some areas but not others, or why features are dispersed in a linear fashion or a regular pattern).

In Phase 1 of the Awards, each participating unit will submit their interactive web map along with a 1-minute video introducing their work. During Phase 2, which is the finalist stage, participants will be required to present and showcase their work using a physical exhibit display no larger than 50 x 50 x 50 cm.

• Use spatial data available at the CSDI portal where appropriate
• Focus on the distribution pattern as manifested on the map
• Try to answer simple questions such as “where is it?”, “where does it occur?”, “what is there?”, “why is it there?”, “is there a distribution pattern?”, and so forth
• Participants may stack up other spatially related maps to answer questions such as “what factors govern the distribution pattern?” or “what else is spatially associated with the phenomenon?” and so forth
• Spatial analysis is not required for this category, but participants are free to employ it if they think it can help them to explain the distribution pattern better

Finalists will be informed individually and must make a presentation on their deliverables to the judges on the Presentation Day. The final ranking of the Awards will be announced at the Awards Ceremony.
