Maps
66 Entries, 23 Prizes
Get ready to chart new territory with the Instructables Maps Contest! We’re looking for projects that incorporate maps in clever, unexpected, or practical ways. Whether you’re building a topographic-inspired lamp, designing a travel tracker, creating a GPS-powered gadget, or crafting wall art from vintage atlases, if it features a map, it belongs here. Think big—or small—and show us how you navigate your world through making.
Your project can use physical maps, digital maps, interactive mapping tools, or even map-inspired designs. Functional builds, artistic creations, educational tools, and tech-driven projects are all welcome. The key is that maps play a meaningful role in your creation.
Plot your idea, document your process, and share your journey with the community. We can’t wait to see where your creativity takes you!
We have four total judges' prizes: Autodesk Design & Make Award for best use of Autodesk software in the creation of your project, and three Student Judges’ Prizes for the best Instructables made by actively enrolled students.
