In Pokémon GO, trainers want to participate in showcases, which has been possible for almost a week. But not for everyone.
What is this feature? The new PokéStop showcases were introduced for the 7th anniversary of Pokémon GO and offer a new gameplay element.
There, you can send Pokémon to compete at specific PokéStops. For example, trainers were able to submit different Squirtles at the start of the new feature. The one with the largest Squirtle ultimately won the showcase. Similar competitions are expected to come in the future.
Whoever wins the showcase will receive some rewards at the end. You can find an overview of the showcases in Pokémon GO here.
However, there has been a problem with the showcases from the beginning: not all trainers can see them.
The showcases are part of the new season in Pokémon GO:
Where are the showcases in Pokémon GO?
This is the problem: While some trainers have already secured their first victories in the showcases, others are still searching in vain on their map for them.
Players reported from the start that to this day they’ve not found a PokéStop showcase, for example in the Subreddit TheSilphRoad for Pokémon GO.
Others at least report getting a pop-up at stops where a showcase would theoretically be, but then being unable to interact with it further (via reddit).
So there is obviously a problem here.
What does Niantic say about this? On Twitter, Niantic Support has already addressed relevant inquiries several times and emphasized that the issue is known and being investigated. They also refer to a bug website where there should be a corresponding update once the problem is resolved.
Currently, it says there:

Otherwise, the next event in Pokémon GO is approaching: A hat full of sleep.
