-- Saturday / Sunday, September 14th and 15th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday September 16th thru Sunday September 22nd - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-61, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, September 23rd - the winner of week 60 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
as noted above, 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 :)
IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know 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 :)
*************************************************************************
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-61
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.
@jocasta you would have had to select finalists, organize voting and announce winner for get pushed 59... If that's all done, then I think you are off the hook
Sorry but I'm struggling at the moment and haven't done last weeks so if can I bow out if someone comes along looking to join please :) If not then I'll try - thanks and sorry x
@ingrid2101 can you let your partner know? I'm not sure how much Internet access I will have over next few days so of you guys are able to sort things out without my help that would be great
@northy, letting you know now since you may not be around this weekend, it looks like @mej2011 hasn't posted since the 5th and didn't respond (or issue a challenge) to her last get pushed challenge. I'll go ahead and post a challenge for her. Just wanted you to know :)
@northy@jav0930
I have posted a challenge to my partner for this week. You should have to look at their account to see it. We have until Sunday to respond to challenges. Today is Friday, I'm still up and running.
@northy My new challenge partner, @lbjefferies , has not posted since 17th August and there are 2 uncompleted challenges on his last post. If somebody is without a partner this week, I'd be very happy to be paired up with them. Thanks.
@northy May be too late but would be keen to join in thee challenges, I feel the time has come to push myself. If too late, next week? Thank you and have a lovely weekend
@northy Hi Northy, @jyokota was my challenge partner last week. We enjoyed being partners, I am happy to challenge @jyokota again but perhaps @jyokota would like a change?
@sturnus carol - there is one new person who wants on and two who want off... Maybe you can sort it out so you, the new person and the partners of the two who are bowing out can pair up
Following @northy's suggestion that we sort ourselves out, and with @ryanarra2 asking to bow out this week, and given that @sturnus and I just had a great week of challenging each other, it looks like one possibility would be:
Please let me know if you agree or if you prefer some other combination so we will all know what to do . . . :) I'm happy with whatever combination we end up with.
@jyokota Thank you Junko for working this out and for your suggestion, which I think is excellent! I am very happy to pair up with @simster and will post a challenge for her.
@jyokota Thank you Junko for your message, would definitely be delighted to be paired up with you, will have a look at your pictures and do my best to come up with a suitable challenge this week. Looking fwd to doing this challenge with you
@jyokota Hi, before you issue me with a challenge, I am open to most things but have two young children so can't be out at night and live in London so landscapes are out of reach apart from the parks. That's it :-)
@jyokota. Thank you and sorry for bowing out, so busy at work and haven't done last weeks challenge .. yet, glad you got it sorted, much appreciated. :)
@northy Sorry about that, I'll just stay off the get pushed, finding it harder than I thought to get time :)
@ingrid2101 -- no problem , I've had to bow out before, too, and it's better to do it at the beginning of the week. I know that sense of "gotta-get-caught-up" but I'm finding being part of get-pushed an important part of my experience with 365.
Hi @northy I have to pull out for a while. Not even managing to post at all let alone a push challenge! I am right in the middle of a very intense piece of research that I am loving but it is taking all my energy and attention. I will come back in to GP later in Nov or Dec. Thanks for all the marvellous organisational work you do here on everyone's behalf!
Hi @northy.
Been away , but am now back ..
I'd be grateful if you caould add me into next week's hat and pairings draw. I always groan inwardlty when I get my challenge , but they sure stretch me.

Hi @northy-
I'm sorry, but I've fallen behind for various reasons and need to bow out of the challenge for a little while. Could you please take my name off the list until I get back to you. Sorry for the inconvenience, especially to @mrsbaldy. Peace- Erik

@sturnus and @simster -- works for @sturnus. Haven't heard from @simster but if @simster doesn't want to do it this week, sounds like @helixconcepts would be interested.
Back to my camera . . . :)
