First off, the usual PSA... please please please, if you're paired with someone who is MIA (missing in action - hasn't posted in several days... or WEEKS!), or who does not issue you a challenge by Tuesday night, do NOT suffer in silence...
even if you're cool with sitting the week out without a challenge, if i don't know about it, they will be paired up with someone the following week who may end up being frustrated and disappointed...
so please - let me know if you're partner is MIA...
*********************************************************************************
on another note, please let me know asap if i've messed something up (left you on the list when you should be off or left you off when you asked to be one)... the sooner you let me know the easier it is to straighten things out and make sure everyone who wants to play is partnered up...
tx! and now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
-- Saturday / Sunday, August 24th and 25th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday August 26th thru Sunday September 1st - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-58, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, September 2nd - the winner of week 57 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
as noted above, 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-58
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.
@dh sorry sorry sorry! You did and I thought I had updated my spreadsheet... Rats... Will need to see what else I missed... Yes - I will find another partner for @tooner
@Northy - please take me off the list for a while. I do not have the time to devote to this project and I don't want to make my partner frustrated. I will come back at another time. Thanks!
@northy - I am paired up with @amandakay129, and it looks like she hasn't posted since early July and did not respond to the challenge that was posted on her last picture. I may be available for another partner if you are looking for someone. Thanks!
@mzzhope hi Hope... i will add you to the list to get paired up for next week... there's no one looking for a partner just this moment, but every chance someone will come along within the next 24 hours, and then you could get paired up for this week as well...
@atooner no worries... i like to play too... i just don't put myself in if it means someone else ends up unpaired... i'm going to head over to your project shortly to see about issuing you a challenge :)
@aprilv i already got a challenge for this week - but if you want to practice issuing challenges on me, go ahead - and i'll see what i can manage over the weekend :)
@northy
Sorry for the short-ish notice, but can you take me out for week 59? I'm dealing with a bit of health issue that is going to make me pretty much home bound for the next 7-10 days. Thanks!
