Get Pushed Week 50 - Monday July 1 to Sunday July 7

[☠northy]

First - a PSA:

As of next Friday (July 5) i will be away for a week with limited internet access... my plan is to post the pairings for week 51 on Thursday July 4th... so if you want on or off the list for week 51, it would make things immensely easier if you let me know by Thursday afternoon... tx :)

***********************************************************
Week 50 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, June 29th and 30th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday July 1st thru Sunday July 7th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-50, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, July 8th - the winner of week 49 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

IF YOU ARE PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MIA:
(hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), then:

(1) please let me know by responding to this thread... AND

(2) PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)

*************************************************************************
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-50

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.

Have fun and be careful out there!

[Edie]

Hey Ms North
I didn't see the vote for get-pushed-48. Did I miss it?

[Kiran]

I wondered about it too.

[☠northy]

@edie @ikamera hmmm - I don't tend to monitor the voting... I will take a look in a bit...

[Edie]

@northy I just checked. The winner of 47 was @momsta and she hasn't posted since July 22nd. I hope all is okay. @ikamera

[Nia]

@northy momsta is currently traveling for 3 weeks, so I'm sure having a ball but not responding to texts even so I'm sure Internet access is out of the question. Sorry I saw that she was out for get pushed so thought you knew otherwise would have let you know sooner. ( don't think she even knows she won the challenge )

[Edie]

@sianipops thanks for letting us know. Glad to hear she's having fun. May I suggest we select the runner up to choose 48?

[☠northy]

@edie I'm good w that... Do you know who it was? Do you have time to post to them? I'm running around today and won't have time to chk before tonight

[☠northy]

@edie if not - no worries... I'll sort it out later

[Kiran]

@northy @edie I don't mind figuring out who the runner up was and ask them to host 48.

[Kiran]

I went ahead and counted the votes and clearly Mike Gifford @mikegifford stood in the second place.

Mike, would you mind setting up voting for get-pushed 48?

[☠northy]

@ikamera tx!!!!

[Edie]

@northy @ikamera just getti g in now. Thanks Kiran.

[Tineke]

@northy Hey, I am back of holyday and I would like to join again. I don't know if you have somebody for this week, otherwise I would like start next week. Thank you for al your work, I love this.

[☠northy]

@tstb someone is bound to turn up in search of a partner this week :)

[Edie]

@tstb @northy
I have been partnered with @smithak before so if the two of you would like to partner up I wouldn't mind a week off and if someone else shows up who wants a partner I can do it.

[Tineke]

@northy if it is oke with you I take the challenge over from Edie?

[Mike Gifford]

@ikamera @northy What would you like me to do? Host the voting for #48? Pick the finalists for voting? Let me know and I'll make it happen.

[☠northy]

@mikegifford yes -- that would be great if you could do that... tx so much!

@tstb if this is good with you and @edie then it's fine with me... please let @smithak know... tx!!!!

[Mike Gifford]

@northy Pick finalists and host the voting? Just want to confirm before taking this on.

[Tineke]

@northy I will inform @smithak

[☠northy]

@mikegifford yes... it seems @momsta is away and we're about to be a week behind... if you are able to pick the finalists for week 48 and start the voting today - then maybe post the winner on tuesday or wednesday (never know how much time to give folks to vote - some competitions give 24 hours, some give a week - there must be a happy medium :D)... that will then give time for the winner of week 48 to pick finalists for week 49 before it's time to pick the finalists for week 50 (whew... hope i got that right!)

tx loads!

[David]

@northy Hey love! Please could you take me out of the challenges for a little while, things are getting too hectic and barely get the time to take the photos I want to let alone someone else's ideas!! Thank you; sorry for the inconvenience

[Nancy A]

@northy Could you please add me to the challenge starting with week 51?

[Edie]

@northy I think I will stay out for a bit too. Life is crazy and about to get crazier...but you know I'll be back.

[☠northy]

@nkawoods of course... did you want to play this week if someone is in need of a partner?

@davidwren - ok - are you going to play this week? or should i see if i can find @tammeray another partner?

@edie - no probs... i know the feeling!

[Sem]

@northy been thinking of joining this challenge for a couple of weeks now, if there's a slot for available (this week or next), could you add me?

[☠northy]

@semjaja sure... i'll put you on the list for next week... for this week, likely something will turn up, but no guarantees

[Raine]

@northy, my partner for this week, @hagata, hasn't posted a pic since June 7th.

[Kiran]

@northy My partner @samanthamphoto hasn't posted since June 20th. I don't see she responded to the challenge that @degarvey issued last week as well. I went ahead and issued a challenge but might need a new partner.

[Sem]

@northy thank you, whenever a gap opens up

[David]

@northy Yeah i better bow out for this week too I'm afraid. sorry!

[☠northy]

@davidwren no probs...

how's about the following pairings:

@tammeray with @ikamera

@rainechan with @semjaja

[Samantha Markey]

@ikamera I am here just busy month. I will get on tonight to offer u your challenge. Sorry for the delay

[Trudi Oliver]

@northy hi northy back in pleasex

[☠northy]

@trudio ok - things are a little muddily right now, but maybe see if @tammeray needs a partner? i'd paired her up with @ikamera becayse @samantahmphoto seemed to be mia- but she's not... (follow all that? ;p)

[Kiran]

@samanthamphoto Sorry about that. I am glad you are still on board. Waiting for my challenge... :-)

[Trudi Oliver]

@northy I'll just wait till someone contacts me! I've another stupidly busy week anyway!!

[Kate Goring]

Hi Northy! I would like to be taken off the list starting with week 51. Thanks so much for organizing this wonderful weekly challenge. Perhaps will jump back in again at some point. Have a fantastic holiday.

[Junko Y]

@northy -- I had asked to be taken off til July 2, but I'm now thinking I should skip the next two weeks also because I'm leaving for Australia on Saturday and then going to New Zealand . . . internet access is often unpredictable when traveling . . .

I love these challenges so I definitely want back in after I return! I'll be ready for Week 53. THANKS !!

[martine]

@trudio Hi Trudi, how about pairing up this week? My get pushed partner doesnt respond.

[☠northy]

@jyokota @masosy ok

@3sixty5 @trudio sure - if you two can pair up that would be great... sorry - i haven't had time this week to monitor things as closely as i like to (and next week will be worse)...

[Trudi Oliver]

@3sixty5 so sorry not seen this its been a mad week. Will look at yours and give you a challenge, but feel free to say no because of the short notice!

[Captured4Ever]

@nkawoods I don't have a partner and would like to participate. Up for it? and @northy - can you add me?

[Ragnhild :)]

@3sixty5 - I'm so, so, so sorry, but I haven't had any internet connection this week.. But obviously you figured I wasn't up to play .. SORRY!!

[martine]

@ragnhildmorland No problem, can happen!! I paired up with Trudi in the end.

[Michelle]

@northy My humble apologies for inadvertently causing so much stress! I have just arrived home from an overseas trip with no internet access, and had no idea I had even won this amazing challenge ( I am thrilled, honoured, and amazed) Thank you to all!! And to @mikegifford for picking up the slack for me..... And to you especially for taking so much time to organise this each week!
I have enjoyed the challenges enormously, and look forward to joining them again. I gather you are away too, so please add me to the list when you are able. Thanx so much!

[Nancy A]

@Laurie, so sorry I did not see your offer last week - I checked the site and I think I must not have refreshed the screen. I assume you have a partner this week but if not let me know. I can do two. :-).
