GRASS Posters
The GRASS Project team is looking for posters that can be used to
show what GRASS is and what GRASS can do!! The GRASS community will
vote for the best posters. The best three will be made available on
the GRASS project website.
We are looking for two types of poster: One poster should focus on
motivating GRASS development, while the other should focus on
motivating people to use GRASS.
Posters in german can be submitted to the GAV. The best submission will be rewarded. For details see the GAV page.
