The 2024 edition of the "Ohio Schools Mapping Competition" will be the fourth of this annual event.

The ArcGIS Online Competition is open to high school ("HS," grade 9-12) and middle school ("MS," grades4-8) students in participating states in the U.S. who can gather, create, analyze, interpret, and present data via an ArcGIS StoryMap.
