Announcing the 2024 Esri Community Contest
Image: 2024 Esri Community Contest banner
The Esri Community Contest is a fun, friendly competition we host every year. Its purpose is to bestow recognition on members who define what it means to be engaged participants in the Community. And, to make involvement more accessible to individuals at all stages of their member journey, there are three separate winner categories. Each category respectively evaluates those just starting out, those who’ve been in Esri Community for at least a year, and our most heavily involved members—the Esri Community MVPs.
The 2024 contest will run from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and is open to Community members, excluding Esri staff and Distributors.
