Using Henry W. Castner's words in his material entitled "A teacher's introduction to the Barbara Petchenik International World Map Design Competition": This term "projection" is employed here in its widest sense, from copying or tracing by hand to manipulating by computer the many formal map projections that cartographers have found useful. It is not the intent of the Competition, however, to promote the study of map projections per se, but to give children the opportunity of exploring the many ways that we can think about and represent the world we share.

The projections were generated using the Flex Projector and the G.Projector freeware.
