****************************************************************************
As always...
- if I've left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed... (it becomes awfully challenging to keep track when you post to other threads)
-- If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...
-- IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST BUT I SPELLED YOUR NAME WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!
-- Saturday / Sunday, Mar 30 & 31 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday April 1 thru Sunday April 7 - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-37, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 8th - winner of week 36 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
NOTE:
If you are paired up with someone who has gone MIA (hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know by responding to this thread... AND PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)
*************************************************************************
How to play:
TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE
1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get to their profile
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.
3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.
RESPOND TO A CHALLENGE
4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-37
7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). You MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...
ALSO
8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...
9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, the winner of the previous week will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.
@dmdfday hi Diane... it may be possible to do a switcheroo... i'll look into it tomorrow (well, later today - it's already well after midnight!) @3sixty5
@riverlandphotos oh dear... i really hoped this wouldn't start to happen so quickly! @allegresse does seem to post sporadically, but she does seem to have missed her last push so I will put her down as mia...
@northy, Please take me off beginning with week 38. I'll be out of pocket for 3-4 weeks. I'll give you a holler back when I have returned. Thanks for all your hard work with this....I know it must be a nightmare trying to keep it all straight.
@johnmnewman hi John... i'm afraid there's only one other person in search of a partner at the moment... you can wait a bit longer and see if anyone else shows up, but you might start to run out of time...
I think I'm paired with another inactive member this week (@mariael)- she hasn't updated since March 21. It works out fine for me this week, as I am otherwise up to my eyeballs in work, but I just thought I'd let you know. Keep me on the list for next week :)
@northy Hey Northy - I'm doing 2 month-long challenges and am trying to tackle some other personal projects, so starting next week, I need to take a little break from get-pushed. I'm still going to do my push this week. But I'll let you know when I'm ready to start playing again after that. Thank you so much for keeping track of this all!
I think my partner @dixon is on vacation and isn't getting too much internet access... I posted my challenge to them, but still haven't gotten anything in return.
@rainechan ok - @degarvey is in the same boat, and i just suggested she pair up with @morgandonner if Morgan is interested... but maybe you could all 3 play together?
@northy Just a note to say that I will not be able to do the next few Get Pushed Challenges (starting with 38) . I will contact you again when my schedule frees up and I can add it back in. I love these challenges and hate having to miss some.

Hope I'm not too late! I noticed that I have not been on the list the last couple of weeks. I wasn't to upset since I was going to be really busy, but I would like to get back on the list if that would be possible. Thanks
@3sixty5
so... here's what we'll do:
@riverlandphotos you can pair up with @3sixty5 and
@dmdfday you can pair up with @sudweeks
hope that works out...
ok - how about seeing if @morgandonner still wants to play this week?
