SAGA AWARDS

Each year the SA geocaching community comes together to recognise great new caches at the SA Geocaching Awards (SAGA) event. The next SAGA event will be held on 28 March 2021 to announce the 2020 SAGA winners (see the event listing for further details).

SAGA awards are decided by the SA Geocaching community who first nominate and then vote on their favourite caches placed in the preceding year. Links to the nomination and voting surveys will be added to the event listing, so be sure to check the listing regularly in February/March. The SAGA committee is also looking for volunteers to help present awards on the day, so please get in touch if you’d like to help.
