Contest Description

The idea for the Earth as Art contest is based on the Earth as Art Gallery sponsored by the US Geologic Survey and NASA. It features amazing images of earth with an artistic perspective.

Participants in this annual contest are encouraged to create works of art based on satellite imagery, aerial photography, elevation data, infrared imagery, or map features from locations around the world. The geographic data can be displayed in a variety of colors - allowing for a unique and personal perspective of land and made-made features.

All current staff, faculty and students at Indiana University are eligible to apply.  If you are interested in participating, please email a UITS GIS Specialist with the following information:

• title of your art image,
