1. 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...
2. HOWEVER, if you're partner hasn't posted in over a week and hasn't responded to their last challenge, please let me know... even if you are ok with taking the week off, letting me know helps me keep the list up to date and makes things easier for pairings the following week...
3. IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know asap 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 :)
4. 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'
5. you do NOT need to post your get pushed shot to this thread (in fact it's almost better if you don't because it makes it more difficult for me to keep track of the things i need to do in terms of updating the list)... you DO need to be sure to tag your shot get-pushed-XX (the number above)...
6. 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, February 8th and 9th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday February 10th thru Sunday February 16th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-82, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, February 17th - the winner of week 81 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
*************************************************************************
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-82
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 my partner Nicole @nicoleterheide seems to be mia for a while. I see she hasn't responded to your challenge last week as well. I'll be happy to wait for her to turn up, just letting you know. Thanks!
@ikamera oh dear... you'd think i would have noticed! ok - let's see what happens over next couple of days... she did give me a challenge last week and so i thought she was "back", but perhaps not... shall i see about finding you another partner? there's usually 2 or 3 each week who need one :)
@northy this week I'll be traveling 3 days in the middle of the week, so I think finding another partner seems like a good idea. That way, I can get head start on my challenge or think about it while shooting during my travel. If Nicole comes back, I'm sure you can find someone else for her too.
@northy@ikamera I seem to be in the same boat. My partner @smurfmuffin has been away too. I was thinking that if by Tuesday neither of our partners show up, we could be partners? How does that sound?
@webfoot hi Paul... tx for letting me know... chances are really good that someone else will come around looking for a partner today and so you'll get paired up with them...
Hi @northy I know it's early, but my partner, @luka365 , hasn't posted since Feb. 3rd and doesn't appear to have issued a challenge to their partner last week when both of them first signed up for Get Pushed. I can wait 'til Tues if you like or ...
Hi Katie... has Luka been in touch yet? please let me know...
Rachael - were you wanting to play? if so, you could pair up with Paul (@webfoot)
please let me know if this isn't working out... there are other options - just trying to make sure that everyone who wants to play has a chance to get paired up!
@northy Thanks for checking back. They mass uploaded over a week's worth late last night and issued a challenge. Guess I jumped the gun on complaining.
@northy - is there anyone this week that could use a partner? I havent heard anything from my assigned partner this week and would love to participate if I can. Thanks!
@northy My partner @onepursuit has not replied and the last image from them is 6th February. If there is someone else available I would like to take part this week - if not never worry.
@katiebrenkert@la_photographic hi there... you both seem to be in the same boat with partners who are mia... how about the two of you pair up for this week?
@northy@interludephotography
hasn't responded and has not posted since 2nd February . looks like he/she didn't complete last week's challenge ether.
At this stage of the week I'm not bothered about pairing up , but ko=now you like to be awre of non-shows before you get to work for the next one
many thnks fro all your efforts
@northy, I haven't been issued a challenge for the week, nor heard from @jyokota since Tuesday. I would rather not be issued a challenge for the remainder of the week, I'm going out of internet range for much of the weekend. I'll be back Monday!
@neatz hi Anita... it's really too late for this week, but i will add you to the list to be paired up for next week... that list will get announced tomorrow...
@northy hi, sorry I've not been around for a while, could you please take me off the list until I'm up to date and then I will reapply! Thanks for the great work you do! I WILL BE BACK!
@dibzgreasley hi Debbie - just let me know and I will add you to the list for weekly pairings... Week 83 has already started, but I might be able to get you paired up - just let me know if you're interested...
@interludephotography no worries - just let me know when you want to jump back in again...
@dibzgreasley@bby i will add you both to the list for getting paired up next week... pairings will be announced Saturday and then you'll have from monday the 24th until the following Sunday to fulfill your challenges...

@smurfmuffin
I'd love to join in this time if that's ok with you both. Can I set you a challenge please Paul?

so you go to the the pages where all the images for get pushed 82 are posted and pick 5 for voting on... the images are all here... http://365project.org/tags/get-pushed-82
then you set up a thread for voting... like the one @stacypie set up here: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21235/vote-get-pushed-81
give folks some 3 or 4 days to vote, count up the votes and declare the winner...
have fun!
