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!

Great, reaching another level takes too much time and require lot of Mapping. Great effort I must say. When you start helping others wholeheartedly it gives you divine feeling. Local guides platform provides you a space where there is no limit of helipheothers. So no worries if one can't be selected this year, let's always be helping people

I am sorry for you that I haven't got the mail regarding Conect Live 2018. I just have posted my opinion  here about Connect Live.

Today I received the email informing me that I was not chosen for the summit of this year, and I started to think about the reasons why a local guide like me was not selected, I have good records and I have even achieved several medals and at the same time collaborating, knowing the world is my passion, and relamente had a great illusion of being able to go to San Francisco to this event. It seems to me that they should revisit my application and take into account my achievements and my enthusiasm to be an LG because I really deserve to be part of this summit.

 

I am from Costa Rica and I do not know if that is the reason, but I am saddened to be rejected in this way.

Now i will start preparing for 2019.

How many from India made it ?  

 

 

I am very disipointed today as i was not selected for the local guide summit 2018 in california. I had done lots of hard work in google maps. I was active everyday in google maps. And contributed lots of 360 photographs, review and everything. I never expected for getting any reward. But still when we hear somthing like that then ot hearts. I thought that when i will selected then i can get my dream chance to visit america but i will never see america in my life. Because this is the only chance for me to explore that place. Now it looks like to leave everything. People will see me as a negative person. But try to understand my feelings.

Level 7

I got the not so happy email too.

 

It was my first application and now that i know what its about i will step up my game.

 

I'll be ready for 2019 🙂

Level 10

very unwillingly I opened my mail to check the result @OSAMA. I already had gave up hoping more.

Level 8

It's a pity that one gets more than a million people

 

 they connected by visiting my account in my contributions 1,182,408 and you did not care to invite people like me who got so many visits and we can be useful in this regard.

 

How wrong I understand that your criteria are heavy. I will not sure if continue collaborating is frustrating and they do not know how to treat or motivate; their collaborators

 

Level 8

Same here @Badruddeen

see you next time i hope!

Level 7

No ways is it based on location.

 

Its ultimately an audition an in that some will audition better. Its best to take this as school fees and work on making your effort next year the best it can be. I know i will.

I already received the email and I am so sad for not going this year for this event ..... But okay, I'm sure it will be incredible days!

Congratulations to all the chosen ones !  🙂

Hey @Anonymous,

Thanks for reaching out!

 

Applicants were selected based on various criteria. There was something special about every applicant. Narrowing applications from thousands to 151 was a very difficult choice. We encourage you to keep contributing to Google Maps and be active in the Local Guides program. Doing this helps others find great local places, supports small businesses, and can even make it easier for people to get vital information. In addition to helping others, connecting with like-minded Local Guides, and getting your stories told, your contributions could also get you perks. As a special surprise, perks may be offered from time to time to say “thanks!” for being a Local Guide.
