***Photo Challenges: Rules and Theme Ideas***

I was thinking that we need some more fun and games around here, so I'd like to start having themed photo challenges! Some of us are used to these from the Pullip Style forum, and this will be very similar (there aren't too many ways to do themed photo challenges). The rules follow, and I'd love to use this thread for all of your challenge ideas. Please post your theme ideas here and we'll get to as many as we can! Grin

Okay, now for the rules............

1. Most important--HAVE FUN! That's what these challenges are all about--having fun with your photography and improving your skills.

2. Feel free to post your image(s) anywhere you want, but please make sure your entry goes into the right challenge thread, or it won't make it onto the voting poll.

3. Each challenge will last for two weeks, and then I'll add a poll for all of you to vote for your favorite photos. You can vote for your three favorite photos and the pic with the highest number of votes will win a custom banner to use as you wish (in your signature, on your website, etc.).

4. Submit to as many challenges as you want. However, please submit only one entry to each challenge. An entry may consist of one photo, one photoshoot (several photos with a common theme), or one picfic.

5. Challenges are not just for Pullip photos. Any type of doll on this forum may be featured (Pullip, Blythe, Momoko, Dollcena, etc.).

6. To be fair to everyone, all entries must come from registered members of the forum. I understand that there are people who want to enter but don't necessarily want to join another forum, but games are meant to be community-building events, so I have to restrict them to forum members. You don't have to be an active, chatty member, but you do have to be a member.

I think that about covers it, but if anyone has a question, please ask! Remember, this is all just for fun, so don't take the competition too seriously. Everyone has a chance to win!

Now, let's hear your great ideas and get this thing going! Oh Joy!

I'm going to keep a list of all of the ideas you guys come up with here, so it's easier for me to have them all in one place rather than having to look through all the posts. It'll also be easier for everyone else to see the other suggestions and see what we've already done. Cute!
