Student GIS Club - Vote on your favorite Bad Map

[Luke Mitchell-Nelson]

Hi all,

The PSU GIS Club is currently running our first Bad Map Contest, and we'd love to get your votes on the works submitted.

In this contest, students set out to create maps that are as unintuitive, confusing, and ugly as possible as a lighthearted cartographic exercise. 

We put together our maps in a one-day sprint last week, voting is open until this Thursday (2/26) at midnight, and we will announce the winners at our next event this Friday. 

Voting is open to the public and we would love to get as many votes as possible, so feel free to share these links if you feel so inclined. 

If you'd like to bear witness to the horrors that we have created, you can check out our maps here:  

And cast your votes here:  for these categories:

Most obnoxious colors
Most unintuitive composition
Most unhelpful legend
Overall best bad map

Thank you and see you tomorrow,

Luke Mitchell, PSU GIS Club co-president
