Did You Participate in the Mosquito Habitat Photo Challenge? Collect Your Certificate Today!
If you participated in the Mosquito Habitat Photo Challenge, which ran from 25 July through 25 August, there is a special certificate available to you if you collected mosquito habitat, larvae, or land cover data.
Simply “opt in” (directions below) to receive GLOBE Observer News via The GLOBE Program’s GLOBE Observer (GO) app. By doing so you will receive (directly via email) a certificate celebrating your contributions. (Opting in is also the best way to ensure that you get the latest updates about how the data you helped collect is being used by researchers.)
To Opt In:
Go to the settings menu in the app (small gear icon, bottom right), select "Opt-In/Opt-Out Settings" and then select “Yes” under "Receive GLOBE Observer News." You will receive future messages at the email address associated with your GLOBE account.
If you participated by learning, engaging, and creating using the challenge activity tracker, a customizable participation certificate and digital badge can be found on the challenge webpage (be sure to submit any data you still have stored in the app for it to count toward the challenge totals!)
