Turn Your Holiday Creativity into a Geodesy Cartoon!

Christmas time and the upcoming holidays are perfect for slowing down, relaxing — and letting creativity shine. Between the festive lights and quiet days, why not take a moment to imagine how geodesy could make people smile? The Geodesy Cartoon Competition invites scientists, students, educators, and artists to turn the science of measuring Earth’s shape, gravity, and rotation into simple, funny, and engaging illustrations.

Your idea can help make geodesy more visible and understandable for everyone — showing how it supports daily life, from navigation to climate monitoring. Whether digital or hand-drawn, your cartoon can open minds and raise awareness of this fascinating science.

So this Christmas, take some time to sketch, think, and laugh. Use the peaceful holiday days to bring your creative idea to life — and help make geodesy fun and unforgettable!
