As indicated by the terms used, the focus is on geographic skills, and that is the overriding criterion for website participation in the GeoSkills Showcase.
Guidelines 3: Inclusiveness
The GeoSkills Showcase is an ideal venue for organizations to demonstrate how they
combine geographic text, geographic numerics, and geographic graphics in their
processes or products. And, it is an ideal venue for providing a range of materials that are
informative and instructive to beginners and newcomers to the field, as well as to people
with advanced training and experience as designers, instructors, and users of these skills.
