BANNER CONTEST!!!
That's right, it's time for another contest! I noticed that we don't seem to have many members yet, so I reckon we need to do some advertising. This contest is all about making a banner to show off in our signatures and attract more people to the Cache Hunters club and geocaching.
The Challenge
Make a banner for our club that relates to geocaching and the Cache Hunters. This banner will be available for use in the signatures of the members of this club.
The Rules
- NO ART THEFT IS TOLERATED AT ALL. Clear? Good.
- The art can be either traditional or digital, but if it is traditional it needs to be scanned/photographed in good quality so the picture is clear.
- There are no size requirements, but keep in mind that the banners are for use in signatures. A banner that fits a signature nicely without the need to scroll will be judged higher than one that doesn't. On the form, where it asks if you read all the rules, you need to write the word "affirmative".
- The words "Cache Hunters" must be included somewhere on the banner.
- You are allowed to watermark or sign your banner in some way, but please do not make it too overbearing.
- The judges decision is final.
The Judges
There will be 3 judges including myself. The other 2 judges are yet to be confirmed. We will judge your banner on it's relevance to the club/geocaching, how well it stands out, it's suitability for use in a signature, and it's overall design and quality.
The Prizes
There is currently just one prize for first place. If enough people enter then I will add a second and third place prize as well.
First place will get a mystery bag of valuable items.
If you would like to donate a prize, please use the appropriate form from the "form" section of this post.

My partner's favorite cache of the day is the one that had a little troll keychain in it for her, since she collects them <3
My favorite cache of the day has to be the one that was hidden in a sign. Though I feel a bit bad about the poor frog that had decided to try and live on that cache when I took it out from under the poor thing. Then again, it nearly gave me a heart attack when it moved >.<
The meet and greet was nice as well, even though everyone else was either less than half my age or more than double my age. Everyone older than me welcomed me with open arms, and some of the cachers and I talked for a bit. The scary thing is that, while most of them are half an hour or more away from where I cache, they knew of me from the caches I had found, lol. I introduced myself with my name first, then showed the tag that had my geocaching name, and when they saw the tag, they were like "OH, you're the person who caches in horrible weather all the time, but you find most of them. That's cool."
It was a wonderful event, and I even met one cacher who is in my area. She told us that when we do her caches, be sure to send her a message, since at least one of the caches needs her help to get to it, which was nice of her to tell us.
I'll probably work on the contest entry tomorrow, after I recharge from a busy but fun day. (I also have a collectible that I was given at the MnG that I adore. It's a Wyvern Crest Coin <3)

The second one being unofficial due to being too close to another. It was my teachers class had tried to hide last year but failed at making it an official cache
A third one we were looking for in the area we found where it should be but it wasnt there

@Zona, the first "cache" you found, is it officially listed on the website? It's a shame about the third one being missing, but I hope you had fun anyway.
I hope you are all busy working on an entry for our current contest, remember entries close on the 20th of November. Perhaps you need a bit of an incentive, yes? Well then, I will reveal one of the prizes from the mystery bag! And it is...
*overly dramatic drum-roll*
75 nuggets!
Haha, hopefully that will help get the creative juices flowing. :D

It was a great day.
I found 5 geocaches, one of which was a mystery. My second mystery ever. Also, my total is 46 caches now. I gotta start figuring out which cache I want to be my 50th. : D

This weekend, I'm hoping to feel better and go caching (and grocery shopping).
I've decided to have a mini contest as well!
First: It ends at reset Sunday (end of day reset).
Prize: Shiny Numel
What you have to do: You (or a stuffed animal/pet you bring with you) have to take a selfie with a cache you find in the next few days!
Post the "selfie" in a feed with a link to the club, and the hashtag #CachingSelfie
(Note: Doesn't have to be you, mine is going to be my Goomy plushie)
A random person (courtesy of random.org) will win the prize.

I have added a new section to the first post which has links to all the current contest. I'll make a fancy title thingy for it soon...

Also, does it have to be a stuffed animal? I'd like to use this R2-D2 toy I have. :,]
Posted: Fri, 13/11/2015 09:47 (9 Years ago)
Stuffed animal was a generalization (though that finnish taxidermy looks like a great companion ;) )

Finnish taxidermy is always a great companion.

(Of course, I am totally fine with just giving Finny the prize o3o)

We were going to start it two weeks ago, but then I got NayNay (a new cat) and didn't want to leave her alone the day after I got her. Then this past week I was in the woods on Tuesday instead of Caching. So this week will be the start of it, and hopefully it won't get too cold for Caching too soon. (I believe the plan is to hit the trails near one of the towns near by, so that will be a blast =3 Then again, we might hit somewhere else instead, since the trails will suck if it rains tomorrow, as they will be mushy and miserable...)
