Welcome to the 1st Sam361x’s Geocaching Creation Challenge (SGCC)
This is the 2nd of 3 Events where geocachers can meet up and compete making the best geocache container at the event. Participation is optional for the event and you don’t have to compete to attend.
There will be 3 events where you are able to try to get points and win the competition. I will bring materials for the caches to the event but I highly suggest bringing some of your own. Each Event will have 3 ways you can earn points.
- Coolest Cache (The one that looks the best)
- Best Camo Cache (Best one that could be best hidden)
- Best Themed Cache (Best Chosen Theme - E.g. Easter)
Points, Scoring & Final Prizes
Best Theme 1st Place - 5 Points
Best Camo Cache 1st Place - 5 Points
Coolest Cache 1st Place - 8 Points
Coolest Cache 2nd Place - 3 Points
Coolest Cache 3rd Place - 2 Points
The Points can be earnt at any of the 3 events and the winners and prizes will be handed out at the final event. You don’t have to go all of the events to get top 3 however you will have a higher chance of winning.
The final prizes will be given out at the final event for the top 3 highest scoring points across all the events. The prizes are listed below:
🥇1st - Magnetic Sliding Cache (Large)
🥈2nd - Cadbury Milk Chocolate Block
🥉3rd - Micro Bison Tube
Rules
- You are allowed to compete with a team but the team can only work on one cache.
- You can bring your own materials for the caches. I highly recommend bringing some as I will be bringing some but it probably won’t be enough for everyone who comes.
- The cache must be able to close and have a Logbook inside. (I will bring paper)
- The cache creating time will last for 30 minutes
- Please don’t argue with the voting. I and the other judges will be fair and not be biassed.
- If you come late you are still able to participate but you won’t have extra time

Ideas For What To Create:
One of the main ideas for what to make is painting a mint tin container I will probably be bringing some paint so this a a good Easy Idea on what to make. Another idea finding a small plastic container, and attaching a string to it to create a hanging cache.
