HEADS UP!!
SEVEN CHALLENGES END TODAY!!
GET THEM DONE!!
Welcome to the Weekly SH*T List, your handy-dandy go-to list to keep current on all things challenging. The name is the acronym of the words 'So Happy It's Thursday', (SH*T). Just as everyone understands that TGIF stands for 'Thank Goodness It's Friday', Thursday's acronym is not quite as polite but very effective. This list is usually posted late Wednesday evening (MST) since there is only one more time zone west of me and most of the world is on Thursday by now. It may be later if there is something going on in my life.
For those who are not sure what the challenges listed below are all about, just click on the link and it will bring you right to the original post that has all the rules and information needed to enter. Wendy has also spelled the acronym of any challenges in full for further clarity.
While the Weekly SH*T list only lists the ending date of the current challenges, please go through the discussion board to find challenges to be voted on. Voting can be just as important as participation and is generally the most fun and exciting part of the challenges.
Don’t forget to click the link to check out the details of any challenges you are considering in case I may have messed up the dates or such.
Chris Cook @cdcook has resurrected September’s Nifty Fifty SOOC for those of you who thrive on personal monthly challenges such as Abstract August, May Half/Half, and February Flash of Red.
The object is to take and post images using only a 50mm lens (or full frame equivalent) and post the JPEG as captured in camera. (SOOC - Straight Out Of Camera). No post processing allowed which includes cropping or horizon straightening. This challenge requires us to put more thought into the end result before we press the shutter. https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/48338/nifty-fifty-sooc-september-2023

I realize why people are changing the dates of challenges to monthly challenges, but it really makes it inconvenient to enter them all.
I much prefer to see challenges spread out throughout the month more.
I guess doing it this way encourages members to be more efficient and enter them on a timely basis rather than at the last minute. (though I work better under pressure and I would never get anything done if it weren't for the last minute!!)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond
Some challenges would only run a couple of weeks and some for a full month but end in the middle of the month.
There would never be more than one challenge end on the same day ... unless it happened by coincidence.
It was great - then a member could concentrate on the next challenge rather than having them all end on the same day!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond
It just takes a mere suggestion to the incoming host to end the challenge on a day other than the end of the month.
It would be easy to check the SH*T list to see gaps in challenge dates (challenges are posted in reverse chronological order with the ones ending soonest at the beginning and going down to the ones members have more time on)
I will make a note at the beginning of next week's SH*T list and you can mention it to others on your own as well.
and from another point of view when we discussed this some time back - if I post a great photo that i've say done a big ETSOOI on, and then find that there ended up being a gap between the last one ending and the voting happening and the next person starting.
If I know that challenges start and end with each month, I can easily enter any photo and I know which one it will land in. It is way more effort for me to have to stop, find the latest Sh*T list, and see when a challenge is ending. Oh it doesn't show on the list, darn search search now I've lost time I didn't have to find out it ended and hasn't started again yet. Mess about, find what the last tag was and just tag it the next tag figuring it will be backdated.
instead if they went month to month, wow so easy for everyone!
if you start really late, maybe just make the challenge go to the end of the next month rather than the current one.
@koalagardens
The host could still back date the challenge to start the day the last challenge ended and have the challenge for a full month - just not end on the end of the month. That way anything you have waiting in the wings will always be eligible for the challenge.
Oh, BTW - the Weekly SH*T list is posted in General so it is easy to find ... General is not nearly as crowded as Themes and Competitons.

@farmreporter - Could you add this one, please?
Thanks.

I guess we will never all agree on this one
Another new challenge.
