as an enhancement to the awards, how about maintaining a "best of ..."
registry to help area visitors et al with a quick pick of quality caches. The
award winning caches could be highlighted with best of the best icons but any
cache that is well placed and well maintained should be listed. member
nominated, committee verifies, moderator controlled, clutz tested, yadda
yadda

Better plan to hire a band to shorten those long acceptance speeches. No,
really sounds like fun.
You could have:
#%$&#$$# award (Hard cache)
Best park award (all cache placers in the park get to fight over an award)
Cut down a forest award (Longest cache page)
Best cache name
Pack a suite case awards (Takes a long time)
Best Drive By award (Easy, fast & fun)
Best cache I never did (Everyone said it was good, but never did it)
Duh award (The cache you walk by 50 times before you say "DUH")
You could come up with 100's.

Don't be surprised if it takes a few hours to get more responses -- they're
all eating right now you know and it takes a while for everything to digest.
But no, there aren't awards (but start the conversation and it's a darn good
way to get yourself set up to start the organizing of something heh-heh)
I think it sounds like a fun idea. For the last year we've really only been
able to cache as a way to get to know an area as we travel and I AM
influenced by logos, "awards" and other interesting things on a cache page.
I assume that if someone is taking that much care to promote their
organization then they've (hopefully) taken that much care with creating a
cache. SLAGA could keep a list on the website and also provide something
for the owners to put on their webpage. Could be fun
How did they decide who could vote on a cache? can you only vote on one
that you found? hunted and didn't find but logged a DNF? have heard about?
etc? We like details this group ..

Subject: [GeoStL] SLAGA awards
Since I am fairly new to SLAGA (4 months now), I was wondering if SLAGA
presents awards (nominated and voted on by the membership) for caches in the
region?
Before moving here, I lived in western NC and worked in upsate SC (yes, I
know OzGuff), and the geocaching group in upstate SC (USCGA) presented
awards each year, as I have pasted below from their forum. I think this
would be a great idea to recognize the cache owners in the region, if it is
not already being done. Maybe we can put this on the agenda for the Summer
picnic if it is a new, or improved, idea.

The Smiley Awards
The Smiley Awards will be presented annually at the Janurary meeting of the
USCGA.
Nominations will be taken from the September meeting until the November
meeting.
After the nominations are annouced at the November meeting the voting will
begin.
Votes will be entered on the forum through a polling category.
Voting will continue until the deadline of Janurary 1. Each USCGA member
will vote for a cache in each catergory for a total of nine votes per
member.
You must be on the memberlist of the USCGA forum to be eligible to vote.
If you are listed as a geocaching team, your team will have just one vote in
each catergory. 9 awards to be given in three catergories. Micro, Regular,
and Puzzle/Mystery caches.
The awards will be for: Most Creative, Most Difficult, Best Liked.
Caches will be eligible to be nominated and eligible to win in more than one
catergory. Once a cache has won a Smiley Award it will not be eligible to be
nominated in that catergory in which it won again. It will be eligible to be
nominated in catergories in which it has not won.
All caches hidden in the ten counties represented by the USCGA are eligible
for a Smiley Award. The caches that win will be eligible to display on their
cache page a Smiley Award Icon, with the acknowledgement of the catergory in
which they won.
