One suggestion: Starting with the letter A, have a contest for each letter of the alphabet, where the submission must be an item that starts with that letter.

jsundin's idea sounds like a good 1, except I'd like to see seasonal themes mixxed in as well.

The Fall Equinox would be a really good theme for the next one (Sept 23rd)

The problem with seasonal themes is some of us live in the southern hemisphere, and would be somewhat left out...

I never thought of that.
How about seasonal for where we live. Some variety would make things intresting.
Personally I think that it would all work out that way.

I think that it city living vs country living is a harder obsticle to overcome.

I have no problem with this concept either. My question is will it be in Ascending order, and if not does the chalange winner pick the letter?

Sounds good to me. So the next challenge will be A and anything that starts with A.

Thats a real good question. How bout it Mo/Budda? I would say that since the forum is in english, But then again we have members from all over the world and so many diffrent languages. This one is going to be tuff.

Good Shooting

A is A is A is A. A rose by any other name, is it not a rose? I am not a stickler for that much detail, not like you are gonna win a Ferrari or something. As long as you don't try and pass a picture of "A Horse" as an entry. I may accept a picture of your 'In Law if submitted under "A$$hole" [j/k]
