On the best series, do all of them need to be active? If there are 7 or 8 out
of 12 that are still active in the series, does that count?
Also, anyone else having a problem with some of the cache logs? If you look at
Engelmann Incline, there are no logs past 2004 for some reason.

Subject: [GeoStL] SLAGA Best-Of Awards Nominations
Just a reminder to everyone that the SLAGA Best-Of Awards nominations are
still in progress. We've received very few nominations as of this time, so I
thought a reminder email might suffice in getting more nominations. I
understand a lot of you are busy, but nominations only take 10-15 minutes.
Below you will find a copy of the email that was sent out to all SLAGA members.
In order for the awards to be a success, it depends on the SLAGA membership.
These awards aren't chosen by the Board, but by YOU.
---------- Copy of email below ----------
Fellow Cachers,
Team S.A.G.E., with the approval of the SLAGA Board, announce the inaugural
SLAGA Best-Of Awards. Below, you will find information about the Awards. At
the bottom is the Official Ballot for the nominations. Official Rules are
available on the SLAGA website ( http://www.geostl.com ) or by requesting a
copy.
Remember that these Awards are member-chosen. The SLAGA Board has no
determination in the awarding of the Awards.
Timeline of Awards:
August 12, 2007 to September 16, 2007 - Nominations
September 29, 2007 - Posting of Nominations
September 29, 2007 to November 11, 2007 - Voting

2007 SLAGA Best-Of Awards Nomination
1221 Bellabrook Drive
St. Louis, MO 63137
All mailed-in votes must be postmarked September 16, 2007 or earlier and
received by September 27, 2007 to be counted.
Members are allowed to make one nomination per category and only one
nomination per member will be accepted. If a family shares one email address,
one vote will be counted for each member that is a registered member of SLAGA
and has the ability to vote. If multiple nominations per category are sent,
only the first correctly listed nomination will be accepted; all other
nominations will not be counted for the category. If multiple emails are sent,
only the first email will be accepted; all other emails will not be counted for
the category.
Nominations emailed before or after the posted deadlines, nominations
without the required information, nominations sent by non-SLAGA members, and
nominations that are unreadable will not be accepted. Nominations in
categories they don't qualify for will not be counted.
What caches are eligible:
Nominated caches and/or events must have been published prior to August
12, 2007, and must be within SLAGA territory. SLAGA territory is defined as:
"the area insides the boundary of an imaginary circle with a diameter of 100
miles from a center point located in the vicinity of the area code of 63025."
To read more about the SLAGA territory, go to: http://tinyurl.com/3c499y
Except for events, all nominations must not be archived and must be kept
active through the voting period. Nominated caches must be available to
everyone (not member-only caches). Caches may be nominated for more than one
category, and may win in more than one.
Further questions:
If you have any questions or would like a copy of the Official Rules,
please email SLAGA.Awards@xxxxxxxxx .
Thank you!
