How are Geoawares Chosen?

[+bluesnote 28]

Hi!

 

Over the last 10+ years of submitting and finding hundreds of earthcaches all over the world, I was wondering how the geoawares are specifically chosen. As a general, does anyone know the criteria or qualifications? Just curious as I'm beginning my senior year of college on track to get my B.S. in geology (with a minor in planetary science) and eventually on to a masters. Was wondering if the geoawares had similar backgrounds.

 

Thanks!

I would imagine that the answer to the question is much the same today as it was then.
