    What is your group and category and then we can better see where you are in the process and tell you the next step.

    I'm not a premium member yet, but I plan to be soon.

    I'd like to start a new category which would encourage travel throughout Colorado. The idea would be to visit all of the counties in Colorado.

    These are the proposed requrements:

    Colorado County Seats: The purpose is to encourage people to visit all areas of Colorado.

    Suggested requirements:

    Include picture of one of the following:
    1. Picture of sign entering town with vehicle or self included.
    2. Picture of GPS showing coordinates inside town limits.
    3. Picture of receipt obtained in town
    4. Picture of anything showing a full address in the town. For instance an address on a store front which has the name of the town.

    Picture of 2 sites in town which could be used in another category, although it doesn't have to meet the standards of that category. For instance, war memorial, historical marker, bed and breakfast, etc. Submit coordinates for that site, address or other means of finding the site.

    A picture showing the town from a distance is encouraged, but not required. Examples: Water tower, main street, or anything which gives an idea of the size of the town. The location the picture is taken from does not have to be from in the town. For example: Cripple Creek can be taken from the road overlooking it.

    Show map of counties visited so far. This can be created here: http://counties.visitedmap.com/state.php?state=8

    I dont think it would work. It's too broad in concept and too small in geographical size. There's already a City Hall category that could be used to waymark towns already. Plus there are many other category to waymark the other stuff in the town.

    Also the county seat is where the courthouse is and there is a category for them.  

    I think it would be fun if there was someway to set up challenges but I don't think they fit in the current design of categories and waymarks
