Update, 6/13/18: All 151 selected applicants have been notified about their status and all remaining Local Guides will hear about their status by June 20th.

 

Over the coming days everyone who applied for this year’s Local Guides event, Connect Live 2018, will receive an email about whether or not they have been selected to attend. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for submitting their applications and let you know how much fun the team had in reviewing the thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of applications.

 

We have selected 151 Local Guides to represent the global community at Connect Live 2018. That’s right: you heard it here first that we selected an extra Local Guide to share information back with the community!

 

Every person selected was carefully reviewed by the team and chosen for a very special reason. While some may not share their status just yet, we ask you to be patient as they work through their excitement — and the details.

 

Overall, it was inspiring to see how committed many of you are to the Local Guides community on top of making fantastic contributions to Google Maps: helping your local community by adding new places, creating lists to help others exploring your area, and hosting meet-ups to connect locally, just to name a few. It was fun learning about your specific passions, too. Whether you were one of the vegan foodies, accessibility champions, or rappers (yes, there were rappers!), you help to keep Connect a warm and welcoming place for Local Guides no matter where in the world you may call home.

 

I’m proud to be a Local Guide and I look forward to seeing our global community grow over the coming weeks, months, and years, especially here on Connect.

 

Keep an eye on #LocalGuidesConnect here on Connect and on social media to hear what folks are saying about this year’s event!

Thanks for your kind words @AnitaAO

It's always not easy.

Being select or not the most beautiful of all is the bond we share and the respect for each other.

And with the current YouTube live streaming we can see the event live as it is unfolding at the comfort of our homes..

 

Kind regards

You are so correct @OSAMA. Connect is our beautiful home with fine cushion and bed sheets and blankets and pillows and food and all the good people with good hearts to share with... 

 

We are going no where, this is where we belong, 

 

Hey brothers @Badruddeen And @BishowvijayaP did you survive the storm? Sorry I am just asking...

Great Pleasure be awarded as 7 star Google Local Guide. "After every Storm, There is a rainbow. if You have eyes, You will find it. if you have wisdom, You will create it."

For me life is a process of constantly learning, Knowing (learn others and myself) and Purifying.

I will keep working on "Growing,Sharing, Enjoying" try my effort to make every beautiful moment into eternal.and trying to be helpful

Nope @AnitaAO. In this season everything happended unexpectedly. The previously happened strom toook the form of connect live and showed its sign lately. I prepared the testimonials very early to defeat the strom. Everything was fine but strom attacked suddenly and this is the 2nd time it made me wounded again. Now I am in bed rest and will discharge in June 20. Like you I am in larger side. 😃
