How to Write a Wayspot Nomination That Gets Accepted

Most rejected nominations fail for the same handful of avoidable reasons. Cover these and you're most of the way to an acceptance.

Title and description

• Use the location's real, official name — no emojis, ALL CAPS, or promotional language.
• Describe what it is and why it's a good pedestrian point of interest (art, history, community value) in 1-2 sentences.
• Never include personal information, business hours, or phone numbers.

Photos

• Take your own photo on-site — no screenshots, stock images, or photos pulled from the web.
• Frame the subject clearly and avoid capturing faces, license plates, or private property.

Location

• Drop the pin exactly on the object or feature, not just "near" it or at a building's front door.
• Confirm it isn't a duplicate of an existing Wayspot nearby and isn't on private residential property.

Before you submit

• Re-read the title and description for accuracy and tone.
• Double-check the photo shows the location clearly with no people in frame.
• Confirm the pin placement is accurate.
