The BOD discussed COTM at great length, and based on your feedback and suggestions, we are making the following changes to COTM to go into effect as of June 1, 2018.

1. Cache of the month will be changed from 5 quadrants, to 4 quadrants, reflecting the quadrants that were defined last year. We will still have a cache series of the month.

2. We are changing the waiting period of nominating new caches from 90 days, to 45 days. This still allows many people to go out and find the caches, but it also helps keep them fresh in everyone’s mind.

We will also be promoting COTM on social media, and at events, to help draw attention to COTM. Additionally, note’s will be added to the cache pages that have been nominated for COTM.We are also working on getting the COTM past winners map and lists updated.

We thank you for all your great suggestions, keep them coming!
