What is Geograph?

The aim of Geograph is to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometre of Great Britain and Ireland.

All photos on Geograph are stored within Gridsquares, these are 1km by 1km areas based on the Ordnance survey grid references, a grid reference consists of 1 or 2 letters and 4 numbers, however it is generally possible and preferable to get a more precise reference such as in a 100m x 100m square (called a centisquare).

One of the major Geograph aims is to collect photographs for every square kilometre; a geograph point is given to the first person to submit a geograph in each gridsquare. There are also personal points given for each gridsquare where you contribute a geograph regardless of how many people have previously done so. Some members play other 'games' while pursuing their Geograph hobby
