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 15th and 16th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday February 17th thru Sunday February 23rd - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-83, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, February 24th - the winner of week 82 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-83
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 Hey, please remove me from the challenge this week . . . the last two people whom I gave challenges to must not have been able to complete them, and I haven't been able to either. We have had snow and ice and even an earthquake here, so other things going on. Thanks and hope to join again soon.
Hi, there, I have really enjoyed the challenges so far set by great people, but find myself struggling to find the extra time at the moment... could you please take me off this challenge after this week, cheers....I will rejoin later....thanks, Ruby
@ourrube hi Ruby... of course... no worries... and just to be sure i understand, you're still playing for week 83 right? and you'll come off the list from week 84 on?
Is there a "cheat sheet" of push challenges, like a list of things people have been asked to do? I'm new at this and am having a hard time being creative in issuing challenges without copying something read from someone else challenge, even after viewing the last couple months photos.
@jenteal hi Jenteal.... i've added you to the list... for the coming week, there isn't anyone else to pair you up with yet, but almost certainly someone will come along in the next day or two and you will be paired up with them...
@bill_fe@aprilmilani - if you want to wait until the end of the day, i can split you up between whoever else comes along and Jenteal...
I have been in touch with @kandis but to date have had no response so if you could keep me on your list maybe I will be paired with somebody next week. Thank you for your help.
Hey @oopsadaisy !
I'm sorry! I'm still here! I'll challenge you in a few minutes. Sorry I was very busy the last days and it's still Sunday here so I thought I still had some time. Just give me a second :)
@jagoto hi Javier... of course! i will add your name to the list for pairings for next week... for this week, you'll be partnered up with whoever comes along next wanting to play :)
@ikamera well now, that's a good question! i thought week 81 had been put up for voting, but now i can't find it... i really need to start keeping better track... i've left a note for the winner of week 80 asking her if she ever posted the voting thread...
@northy this will have to be my last week for a while. Juggling a lot and need to focus on my school work. I'll let you know when I'm ready to join back in!
Hi @northy I am going to bow out for a few weeks but will complete my challenge this week first. Many thanks for organising this; it is great fun. I will let you know when I'm ready to join back in.
@northy Hey my partner @dmward hasn't issued a challenge for me. I know I had read that she was suffering with a hamstring injury (I think). Didn't know if there was someone needing a partner. If not its fine!!!
@froggie0628 hi Amanda... it's getting a bit late in the week, but maybe you can see if @jagoto wants to start up this week and you can issue each other a challenge that can be carried out over the next few days...
@froggie0628 Amanda so sorry to leave you hanging. I just got home from the hospital, had surgery to repair my hamstring. I won't be participating this round and if you can find another partner that would be great.
@homeschoolmom sorry 'bout that... tx for letting me know... i've tagged them mia... next time, if you let me know earlier in the week, i can usually manage to find you another partner... :)

@bill_fe @aprilmilani - if you want to wait until the end of the day, i can split you up between whoever else comes along and Jenteal...
I'm sorry! I'm still here! I'll challenge you in a few minutes. Sorry I was very busy the last days and it's still Sunday here so I thought I still had some time. Just give me a second :)
Thank so much!
Michelle
howdy... how about we do the following pairings:
@grapefruit and @bill_fe
@jenteal and @aprilmilani
Works for me.
Thanks
Dianne
Thanks
Dianne
I do have a question though, do we usually give our partner one challenge for the week or do we give them more than one?
Thanks!
