[Awaiting feedback] May I publish this challenge?
November 20, 2022 03:40PM
I'd like to write a challenge for badges as listed on this site, but I don't see that anyone else has done this, except one, and the title says "badges," but the cache page and the checker say, "souvenirs." Are badges not separate from souvenirs when it comes to challenges?

You are not allowed to use badges as a challenge criteria.

Challenge cache criteria must come from information broadly available on Geocaching.com and must be verifiable through information on Geocaching.com.

Badge are a PGC feature

It's worth clarifying that if the badge conditions form a publishable challenge, then you can give those conditions as your challenge criteria. For instance, "earn the Diamond Canada region badge" ==> "find a cache in all (13) provinces/territories of Canada." You just have to state the latter on your cache page instead of the former.
