The V Brazilian Cartographic Olympiad - OBRAC 2023 included OpenStreetMap as part of its second stage. The participating teams, integrated by teachers and students (aged between 14 and 18 years) from public and private schools, from all over the country, mapped environmental and socioeconomic aspects of selected areas of the Brazilian Amazon Region, using online editors and applications for mapping with OpenStreetMap.
