Use Google Earth for your next Meet-Up Recap (#CommunityChallenge)

Are you an organizer of Meet-Ups? If so, we challenge you to create a Google Earth Project that recap’s one of your successful Meet-Ups. In other words, showcase what you achieved with your Meet-Up and do it in such a way that the event participants could look at it as an interactive album.

Make the best of Google Earth’s new project capabilities and push your creative limits.

The Community Challenge project has ended, but you can still have fun and take advantage of this powerful Google Earth tool.

About the Local Guides #CommunityChallenge
The Community Challenge is an initiative by Local Guides World, a proud (unofficial) community of contributors to Google Maps. Our first #CommunityChallenge was held in January 2019 and for LGW members only. This new #CommunityChallence is aimed at all Local Guides on all (social media) platforms. It is presented in collaboration with the Community Exchange Program, a network of unofficial Local Guide communities.

The mission of our Local Guides #CommunityChallenge is to leverage the output by Local Guides. As Local Guides, we like to rise above the goals we set and push our performance. The aim is to inspire and showcase great examples. To raise the bar, so to speak.

For each #CommunityChallenge category we will appoint a special jury to select the best entries. In case of this Meet-Up category, the “experts” will be community leaders of participating (unofficial) Local Guides communities. In addition, we shall have the title “Community’s Choice” winner, the most favourite entry voted for by you.
