The 2024 #30DayMapChallenge

30DayMapChallenge calendar of daily map challenge categories

Are you ready for the 2024 #30DayMapChallenge? In just over two weeks the 2024 #30DayMapChallenge will begin, and it's your chance to join thousands of cartographers worldwide in one of the most exciting mapping events of the year! Topi Tjukanov has just revealed this year's calendar of daily map challenge categories on the #30DayMapChallenge website.

For the past four years, this global event has brought together cartographers, hobbyists, and map-lovers alike, who challenge themselves to craft a unique map every day throughout November. Each day comes with a new theme to inspire your creativity - whether it’s something abstract, artistic, or data-driven. It's not just about making maps; it's about sharing them with the world. Participants can showcase their maps on social media using the #30DayMapChallenge hashtag and connect with the growing community of map enthusiasts.

Since its launch in 2019, over 50,000 maps have been created as part of the challenge! But don’t worry - you don’t have to create a new map every single day if you don't want to. Whether you want to tackle all 30 prompts or just a few, you’re free to join in whenever inspiration strikes. The official guidelines even encourage a bit of planning: "You can prepare the maps beforehand, but the main idea is to publish maps on the dedicated days." Plus, there’s no limit to how you create your maps. Hand-draw them, use digital tools, or experiment with any other technique that suits your style.
