Look no further. Our scavenger hunt is just the thing for you.
The Task
Hunt down sixteen items: one item from each of the maps competing in the Kamchatka Map Derby.
You can, of course, simply pat yourself on the back each time you check an item off the list. However, if you feel the need for additional glory:
"Snip" and save each item you find using the image capture app of your choice. (Prefer a tech-free alternative? Print out this single-page doc and write in your location descriptions. Take a photo of your work and submit it using the same form.)
Add all 16 images to a slide or other document (Google, Microsoft, etc.).
Save as PDF.
Submit the PDF here. If you include your address, we will send you a prize!
