Photo Duels

So I've had this idea for a while.. hope you guys and gals can help make it a reality.

I want to start a new form of a photographic challenge here on PF - Photo Duels. The premise is that two members agree on a common theme (can be a topic or a photographic technique) and challenge each other to see who can take the better shot. They set the time frame for submitting the photo and choose a referee to oversee the duel. They each send their chosen photo to the referee, who posts a new thread here titled "Member A vs Member B", in which he posts the two photos as photo A and photo B, keeping the authors anonymous. He also posts a poll explaining the theme, for the forum members to vote their favorite. After a week the photo with more votes wins and the referee discloses the author's name.

The prize? The winner can brag all about it or we can coax Adam to do some sort of a leaderboard with some perks attached.

So... who's up for it?

We have the Weekly Challenge that is a similar concept though not anonymous, and only one person votes :-) It's simple and brief. I'm believe your idea will stretch out for a longer period of time, either losing or gaining interest along the way. Oops - I see the one week time limit. Well, with two participants, it leaves a lot of people out. I guess the game is in voting rather than posting.

Think of it as a boxing match The fun of this is that many can be happening at the same time.
