🎄 Season's Greetings, everyone! 🎄
🌟 Big News from TraceLabs! 🌟
We're thrilled to announce our next Global Virtual Search Party CTF, happening on Saturday, January 27th! This is your early heads-up to mark your calendars. Stay tuned for more details on times and ticket info. Can't wait to see what we achieve together this time! 🌐🔍
🛠️ Improvement and Innovation 🛠️
We've taken your valuable feedback on our previous CTF events to heart. This time, we're implementing significant improvements to ensure a respectful, safe, and fun experience for all participants. Look out for modifications in points and categories, and updated briefings and guides for both contestants and judges.
🤝 Fostering Collaboration 🤝
We also want to give the reminder that we want our friendly competition to be talented people vs. the missing persons problem, and less of talented people vs. talented people. Work alongside everyone, not against anyone. Additionally, our competition has always sought out quality over quantity, and we'll clarify that the HIGHEST PRIZE that is equivalent to our Black Badge, is the Most Valuable OSINT award. Top point earner is not the top prize, and they get a gold badge.
🏆 MVO Award Criteria 🏆
The MVO features OSINT that is:
- Highly Actionable
- Unique OSINT Technique Used
- High level of difficulty to find
- Exceptional context and supporting evidence provided
👩⚖️ Judge's Commitment 👩⚖️
Judges, we value your role immensely. As always, we're providing comprehensive training and an updated guide. This year, we're excited to return to LIVE JUDGE BRIEFINGS. We're adding new steps to our Call for Judges form to ensure we maintain the high standards we're known for. Your expertise and dedication are key to the success of our events.

Trace Labs is a Not-For-Profit organization whose mission is to crowdsource the collection of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to generate new leads on active missing persons investigations. The missing persons issue is getting worse and requires modern and scalable solutions at various levels to help mitigate risk to society. Trace Labs leverages an intelligence platform that enables the collection of OSINT to power these crowdsourced community CTF events. These CTF events allow missing persons to receive the attention that is needed early in the search process.
