Join us for our 5th annual Summer Plaque Event! Are you looking for an opportunity to demonstrate your park activating and/or hunting prowess? Here is your chance to win one of 17 high quality plaques for your shack! During the summer event, volunteers coordinate the sponsorship and give-away of plaques based on the results of this 48 hour long activity. The first annual plaque season started in 2018 when N3VEM and K0ATZ decided to sponsor a plaque each - one for hunters and one for activators. The event was very successful, so after the first year, we extended sponsorship opportunities and made a larger selection of plaques available. Once the event is over, be sure to upload your activation logs using POTA’s new self-upload service, and then watch the annual plaque event section of the POTA website for details on the announcement of the winners. An esteemed list of guests will join us on the official POTA YouTube channel to announce the winners, after which the results will be posted to the website.
