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!

I received it yesterday. I was sad for  a second 🙂 , but I already forgot it. 0-02-05-875e07a51c83882c46a2e509f83a2c823dc1bd6d914021b29a91992b1a57fe19_d7e88822.jpg

 

 

My happiness is big, because I enjoy other LG contributions in G maps,  my contribution as  well. I know how important it is and how useful it is.

So .. forgot points and benefits, lets help each other and make the world a better place /as Michael Jackson sings / 🙂

and ... Congrats to the winners!

 

See you next year 🙂

Hello @moshtak786,

 

We had thousands of applicants representing more than 100 countries. We did not reserve space at Connect Live for specific countries, but rather considered every applicant based on the complete application submitted.

 

I have moved your topic here - Thank you for submitting your Connect Live application.

Thanks @GeorgesHR,it's my pleasure to help google to improve our service.This is the only way that I can help into our modern society by contributing.Fact that I am just being active this recent 4months and able to qualify to submit an application this year.This would be my startups how I plan my trip and capture everything and share to the googGo maps.My regrets is that I never realized contributing in the organization before I start signing and joining Google.

Hi (any of the Moderators),

Sorry to bother you at this last moment. 

I know U all are too busy and winding up the Selection process.

U have done a great job of selecting the best 151 LGs and informed them too. Surprisingly, i didn't get neither "you are in" nor "you are not selected " message so far. If any of you could send my authentic status, i will have normal breath! Or should i wait for the last minute Surprise from you? Hope you can very well understand my curiosity and kind enough to reply. 

Thanks for all the painstaking selection work you have almost completed.

Kind regards,

Shiva

That's the right spirit dear @BorislavA

 

Liked your Write-up. No one we can find, who denying to be there at Live Connect 2018..But, eligibility criteria should also be seen..If much eligible candidate is there, we have to withdraw ourself from competition. Don't to Give up & Don't to Deprive off, both are so important in the valuable practical life.

 

 

I conclude with the inspiring lines of the American poet Robert Frost

  

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep

 But I have promises to keep

 And miles to go before I sleep

 And miles to go before I sleep.."

 

Have a Great Time ahead Dears

Hi @TraciC @Atsukot @GeorgesHR @brittym

can you please tell me which sector should I focus for selection. Google Maps, LG Connect or Other???.  It will be very helpful for next year. I want to preparation from now. Thanks. 

Connect Moderator

@bdmafuz The selection criteria can be found from the Connect Live page. Here's a snippet from the FAQ. I highlighted the most important parts.

 

What is your selection criteria?

Applications will be open only to Local Guides Level 5+ during the application period.

Applicants will be selected based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

  • The submission of a complete application with the following requirements:

    • Each Local Guide must submit a 1-minute video message, appearing on camera to share reasons for applying

    • Each Local Guide must submit at least one post on Connect with an introductory message and more insights into their experience with the program

  • We’ll also be looking for:

    • High quality, well-rounded and consistent contributions to Google Maps in the past 12 months

    • Consistent involvement with the Local Guides community such as being an active Connect contributor, meet-up host and Connect moderator

    • The ability to understand and speak English

@bdmafuz

Hi Dear,

Contribution to Google Map is the main focus of area.. Connect LIVE is the BONUS or REWARD from Google to say thanks to deserved ones & to motivate the rest of GLGs for dreaming such events.

You have works a lot till now..But still continue your efforts to make Google Map filled with realistic information by correcting wrong informations, adding unidentified places & providing missing informations to Google Map, for your local or visited areas. Please don't run after points only. Points will automatically increase by your work. If you don't know, don't answer, just leave it for others but don't guess and provide any information. It will be good if you visit personally that place.

Keep in touch with community.. Ask what you face the difficulties to seniors and answer what you know to your fellows.

Just do it...I am sure you will be inn next year.

Hola @bdmafuz, una sugerencia, céntrate en todos y en ninguno, ya que todos son importantes, pero no lo tienes que tomar como un objetivo tipo trabajo, tienes que sentirlo  como una diversión, sentir placer el hacer lo que haces como publicar en Google Maps, las fotos de negocios, tus comentarios tienen que ser sentidos, tampoco es necesario que publiques cada centímetro cuadrado de las paredes de un negocio, con dos o tres alcanza, los comentarios son importantes ya que marcan que lo visitaste y si superan los 200 caracteres mejor 👍😀, Connect es importante es la otra pata de la mesa de los Local Guides, participa, ayuda a tus compañeros con sus dudas, recorre los tableros, todos los tableros, lee que le preocupa a ellos y si puedes ayúdalos, cuenta tus experiencias según el tema de tus post, comparte una foto relacionada con el post no muchas ya que hay un limite de fotos 1000, se un Local Guide pro activo, organiza Meet-Up, júntate en la vida real con otros Local Guides y luego cuéntanos de esas grandes experiencias, poder por sobre todas las cosas diviértete 😉 que el espìtitu de un Local Guides es alegre 🙂, curioso 👀, generoso 🤲 con los demás, solidario con todos.

Sumate siempre a los post con contenido de calidad, opina que piensas de el, exprésate que todos desearan leerte, tampoco es necesario que marques o taguees 📣🔊 a todos en Connect, el contenido de calidad siempre prevalece y flota sobre el mar de saludos y felicitaciones mutuas. Usa tus redes sociales para compartir lo que escribas y publiques en Connect, si estas en una Comunidad Local Guides, lleva los post que realices aqui, a esa comunidad, realiza Videos contando los recorridos y publícalos en Connect.

 

simplemente, se tu mismo, participa, y diviértete 😀🍀

Ya quiero leer tus nuevos post.

 

 

 Saludos Farid
