THIS WEEK'S SH*T LIST IS EARLY SINCE I WILL BE TRAVELING AND OUT OF INTERNET RANGE TOMORROW NIGHT. BACK TO REGULAR TIME NEXT WEEK.
NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT - Can Always Be Found in General
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 as effective.
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. The SH*T list only gives 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.
There is also a posting on how to set up a new challenge under Tips and Tricks for those of you who win a challenge for the first time. Now there is no reason not to enter all these great challenges! How to Host a Challenge
ENDING THIS WEEK - PLEASE NOTE THAT 8 CHALLENGES END ON AUG. 31ST
The Weekly SH*T List Quote Challenge is an ongoing weekly challenge so it begins and ends each and every week where you can have your photo featured on the Weekly SH*T List. So, feel free to enter occasionally or as often as you can! Quote - Round 68

Chris Cook @cdcook48 has resurrected the NF-SOOC challenge that was started by former member, Richard Sayer, way back when. This challenge is all about getting it right in camera the way we had to do it before the digital age.
For the month of September 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) Nifty Fifty SOOC 2026

We are sending a huge 'Thank you' to Annie @annied for continuing on with the Word of the Month. This challenge is a great place for those who occasionally lose their mojo and need ideas or inspiration. It is also a great challenge for those who want to go that extra nine yards to do a full month of words.
Annie has chosen words beginning with "S" and have tried to tie them in with both Autumn and Spring seasons depending on which hemisphere we live in. September Words of the Month
