You have been thinking about this. You've got some good ideas and it
all sounds great!

Subject: [GeoStL] Re: SLAGA awards
Yes, I realize that food is a whole lot more important than creating
awards. I also expect people to think about this a little bit. I really
was trying to get the ear of our SLAGA officers and get their opinions
on the subject, as well as the general SLAGA membership. I am also out
of town this weekend without internet access until Sunday night. But, I
thought I would start a general discussion on the subject. I would think
you could cast a vote for any which were on the ballot, whether you
found it or not. Personally, I would only vote for the ones I visited
(found or DNF...and maybe placed).
My thoughts about these awards (SLAGA Smiley Awards?):
1. All nominations must be for caches placed within the SLAGA territory.
They do not have to be newly placed caches...any cache is eligible.
2. Any registered member (contributing or standard) of SLAGA may vote
for one nominated cache in each of nine categories. (Categories are
listed below.)
3. Nominations would be taken beginning with the Fall meeting/picnic
(end of September) and last for 6 weeks.
4. Voting would commence once the nominations are closed and the
candidate caches are published. Voting would be open for a period of 4
weeks.
5. Awards could be presented at a special meeting in January.
6. 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 again. It would be eligible
to be nominated in catergories in which it has not won.
The categories will be: Traditional, Multi, and Puzzle/Mystery caches.
The awards in each category will be for: Most Creative, Most Difficult,
Best Liked.
This makes a total of nine (9) awards.
My thoughts on the subject. And yes, I realize that just by bringing up
the idea I probably would be tagged with organizing and running it. I
might agree.

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 ..
