2016 Map Calendar & App of the Month Contest Winners

January 6, 2016

Adam Buchholz

Each year, we hold an annual contest to recognize outstanding maps and apps in Canada created using Esri technology. Find out which maps and apps distinguished themselves for selection in our 2016 print calendar and featured app of the month.

This year, we received over 90 submissions for consideration in our annual contest that celebrates outstanding maps and apps created by our customers and partners across Canada. Our judges selected 12 maps that are featured each month in our 2016 print calendar, as well as 12 apps that will be showcased as our app of the month on our blog and on our Web site home page throughout the year.

For a sneak peek at this year’s selections, check out the list below. Explore each map or app a little further by selecting the corresponding link.
