we're closing in on a year of get pushed and many of you have been playing for many many months... i am thinking it must be difficult to think up new challenges to offer people and some have noted that they've gotten repeat challenges... so i'm going to start a separate thread inviting folks to post ideas for challenges in the hopes of getting some more variety out there...
also, i think you shouldn't be shy about telling your partner that a challenge is a repeat or too easy - nor should you take offence if this is something your partner tells you... it's not always feasible to look at every single thing someone has ever done and get a clear sense of things they haven't done, or haven't done much of...
-- Saturday / Sunday, June 15th and 16th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday June 17th thru Sunday June 23rd - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-48, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, June 24th - winner of week 47 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
IF YOU ARE PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MIA:
(hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), then:
(1) please let me know by responding to this thread... AND
(2) 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-48
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.
@northy great idea about the suggestions thread. After this week, I'll need to opt out for the next month or so as I head o/s on a 6 week holiday. Thanks.
@northy hey, my partner this week @tammeray hasn't made a post in two weeks. I went ahead and posted a challenge to her but just wanted to give you a heads up, I may need a new partner. Thank-you!
@northy Thank you for organising these wonderful challenges. I really am enjoying them!
I will be away and don't know if I will have any internet acess as from next week, so please take me off your list from then. I will let you know when I'm back and ready to join in again! Should be about 3 weeks :)
@jav0930 Jackie... i just checked her profile and she seems to have missed answering her previous challenge as well... so we've got two new folks who've asked to be signed up...
@elliedingwall@blahowd do either of you want to start playing this week and pair up with Jackie? if you both are ready to jump in this week let me know and i will sort something out :)
@northy Hi there! Thanks for the awesome challenges, just wanted to inform you that as of next week (23rd) I will be away for about 3 weeks (same as @momsta ) so can you take me off the list from next week please and will also inform you as soon as I can join again!
We apologize for the lateness of this request but @vankrey and I were crazy last week preparing to take 19 teenagers to Japan and we forgot to ask to be out of the challenge for these two weeks of travel. Would it be ok if our two partnered challenged each other? @penndin and @rafaseno
@northy, we would also like to request to be out of the get pushed next week as well. Thank you.
Please take me off the rota for a couple of weeks, lots of photos to process and projects I want to do. but I'll be back will just let you know, cheers, Deni.
