as a reminder (not that i think anyone needs it - but just in case it's useful :D)...
some folks don't post much on the weekends, post in clumps (ie: 3 or 4 days of shots in one go) or are at a point in their project when they only post a few times a week... soooo - if your partner doesn't get back to you right away, or appears to be a few days behind, please give it a day or so before asking for a new partner...
i am not a techie and have no way to come up with a program that will prevent repeat pairings from occurring... sometimes it's easy enough to switch out, but not always... so if you end up with someone you've been partnered with before, consider it an opportunity to kick it up a notch now that you kinda know each other, or, y'know for revenge (did they make you do a high key selfie? spend hours trying to figure out how to get a water drop shot? shoot in colour?? ;p)... just sayin'
and, as always, if i left you off by mistake (or left you in by mistake!), misspelt your name or otherwise mucked things up, please let me know...
-- Saturday / Sunday, November 2nd and 3rd - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday November 4th thru Sunday November 10th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-68, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, November 11th - the winner of week 67 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
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-68
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.

I remember reading that ikamera was traveling? Not sure for how long. Hoping I didn't run Tracy off - she issued a challenge to me about 3 weeks ago when we were paired up but never responded or posted after I issued my challenge :( She is amazingly talented, sad not to see her work.
@sianipops I don't think you ran Tracy off, Nia. She is amazingly talented and I agree it is sad for her not to be posting here any more, she is active on her facebook with her baby and glam pics though. There is a link on her profile page.
@quixoticneophyte true, I do follow her on Facebook. I was sad when she closed her first 365 album as I lost many of her shots I faved - the ones of her husband were just fantastic.
Northy. Sorry but I am going to have to drop out of get pushed for a bit. Got alot of balls going up in the air and finding it hard to keep them up and juggle them all. My apologies.
I am struggling to type this message because I just don't want to do this but after I complete challenge 68 I will need to be removed from the Get-Pushed Challenges indefinitely.I will not be active on 365 either - just don't have the time. I am going to post photos every so often but I feel guilty doing that because so many people offer such kind encouraging comments but I don't/can't take the time to comment back. I have a lot on my plate so I can't commit in the future.
Hmm, haven't heard from my partner @sjoblues yet unless I missed it. I will need a challenge soon as my week gets pretty crazy with an exchange student coming Thursday. Otherwise, I'll just wait until next week when I get a new partner. Thanks.
@myhrhelper awwwww... Kathy... that's too bad... i'll miss you... but i can completely understand about lack of time... i think you should feel comfortable posting every now and then... you've already put so much into 365 - i am sure others will understand!
Tweets ahoy!

Thank you so much for this ongoing challenge, it is good for the creative juices!
@taffy - @mzzhope may be in need of a partner this week as well...
