70 years ago Life magazine published Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map.
With an undistorted projection of the Earth's surface, ability to be easily reconfigured and transform from a 2-D map to a 3-D globe, the Dymaxion Map was a cartographic breakthrough and its iconic design has inspired generations since.
In celebration of the map's publication anniversary, the Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI) is calling on today's graphic designers, visual artists, and citizen cartographers to create a new and inspiring interpretation of the Dymaxion Map.
BFI will publish accepted entries within an online gallery, feature the selected finalists in a gallery exhibition in New York City and select one winning entry to be produced as a 36" x 24" poster and offered for sale within its online store.
The deadline for submissions is June 14, 2013.
