Get Pushed Week 54 - Monday July 29 to Sunday August 4

[☠northy]

Week 54 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, July 27th and 28th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday July 29th thru Sunday August 4th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-54, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, August 5th - the winner of week 53 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 :)

*************************************************************************

IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)

*************************************************************************
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-54

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.

Have fun and be careful out there!

[Abhijit]

@northy hi, you may have missed my request last week :-)
can I please take a break from get pushed challenges for a few weeks?
i'll do this week so you don't have to change anything

[☠northy]

@abhijit oh rats! i am SO sorry... are you sure you can do this week? it's early enough that it would be quite easy to rearrange things...

[Mac]

I'm back from vacation and would like to be included again, please!

[Jake]

Hey Northy, I'm feeling the urge to get pushed again. Count me in for next week, or if you need someone for this week i'll start right away. Thx

[Raine]

@northy Doing great, Northy! Thanks for all you do! :D

[☠northy]

@soren @riverlandphotos do you two want to pair up for this week?

[Kathy Burzynski]

Is there anyone who needs a partner? My get-pushed partner said that he is in foreign soil and won't be able to participate this week.

[☠northy]

@myhrhelper oh noooo... Sorry bout that... I'm sure someone will come along... Also I'm waiting to see if @abhijit wants to pull out - in which case you could pair up w his partner

[Abhijit]

@northy I've already issued a challenge to my partner so leave me in for this week :)

[Abhijit]

@northy @myhrhelper but Kathy can take my place if she wants :)

[Kathy Burzynski]

@northy @abhijit @abhijit Since he has already issue a challenge to his partner. I will wait to see if someone comes along - if not it's not a big deal.

[Mac]

I will contact @soren, thanks!

[Nancy]

@nanderson and @susale would like to participate as partners this week..okay?

[April]

Last week you said you would add me to the list, but I don't see my name... If everyone already has a partner that's fine. You can just add me next week.

[☠northy]

@aprilv i'm so sorry April... i seem to have missed actually making the updates from last week... you are now definitely added... @myhrhelper is looking for a partner - how about the two of you pair up for this week?

[☠northy]

@nanderson @susale - that's fine... should i be adding you into the list for the weeks following as well?

[April]

OK, thanks

[Suse♡]

@northy Thanks but for me it´s only this one challenge, if it´s okey

[Nancy]

@northy Thanks Sussa...I wasn't sure what you wanted to do! Thanks Northy...baby steps for me too :) Is that okay?

[☠northy]

@nanderson @susale - in "theory" the idea is that you meet new friends and try new things... Step out of your comfort zone... But if you want to give it a try in safe-mode, who am I to stop you? ;)

[Nancy]

@northy okay...doesn't mean I won't do it because that's what I need. but right now my camera is locked in my car with my keys...haha..I will let you know in plenty of time and much appreciate the flexibility!

[melissa]
