Hello,
The Wikicaves Association is working on a new version of the website http://wwwgrottocenter.org to be proposed to you in the coming months.
At the same time we wish to change the logo : Therefore, we invite you to participate in a big contest.
The rules are the following:
The logo must express the grottocenter values : Caving, knowledge sharing, worldwide
We encourage you to include the Grottocenter name in your logo.
The existing Grottocenter logo can be reused and adapted.
The logo should, if possible, be presented as a vector file.
The logo should be original. You should mention in your message that you agree to it being put under CC-BY-SA licence.
Please address your propostion to cont...@wiki...ves.org


The different projects will be published on the Grottocenter facebook web-page. The Management Board of the Wikicaves association will choose the logo according to the « like » obtained by each proposition.


You may join the Wikicaves Association as from now. The membership fee for 2015 is 10 € only , to contribute to sharing information amongst ( amongst est très très littéraire ) speleologists  . In this way you could support this beautiful project and the  maintenance team.
The Speleology Committee of the Department of the Aude (France) has signed a convention with Wikicaves this summer. A great deal of work is being carried out with the Aude cavers to make a very large volume of information available to everyone, in compliance with copyright and related rights.
Wikicaves  is a forward-looking association  and is pleased to engage with the federal structures to assist them in carrying out their projects.

In Kyrgyzstan   , the caving potential is huge. Almost all prospective regions are poorly explored or unexplored at all. Cave systems which were discovered previously require further exploration.
