Geocache Container Contest.
Bring a geocache to the event to be judged by the viewing audience (event attendees).
Here are the categories:
- Best Overall
- Most Creative
- Best Craftsmanship
You can enter more than one geocache container. But, you can only enter one geocache container per category.
The cache needs to be constructed in such a way that it could actually be placed as a cache (must be able to stand up to the elements without falling apart or leaking).
It must contain a log book and should be given a cache name (written on the log book).
When you check in and enter your cache container , you will be assigned a number.
This number will be written on the first page of the log.
One voting slip will be handed to each person when they check in.
When you vote, you will use the number on the first page of the log to indicate which cache you are voting for. Write this number next to the category on your slip.
Geocachers can vote on their own containers.
All containers are the sole property of the geocachers who submitted them. Please take them back home with you after the contest unless you want to contribute them to the Blueline Geocachers.
