Out of curiosity, are these to be new images that we take specifically for the challenge, or can they be pictures we already have?

They can be existing photos, as long as you took then

Cool! Now to think...

Just out of curiosity, why make the contest quarterly but only give 2 weeks to come up with something? Sometimes it takes me 2 weeks just to open my camera bag! :chuncky:

well...i did say "~" two weeks.
and, that this contest may require a little tweaking.
im just kinda feeling things out right now.
at this point, nothing is set in stone except for the actual theme. (wouldn't be fair to change that now)

in my head, I imagined this to be a contest that wasn't drug out for an extended period of time. kind of a "get in, get out" sort of deal.
instead of having a long time to wait and hope something serendipitous pops up thats theme related, people would have to make a quicker decision, and act on it.
those motivated to go out and make it happen will get the rewards.

The only reason I allowed previously taken pictures to be eligible is because I dont want to have to go through and vet every entry.
sure, i could make all kinds of rules saying that exif data has to be there to prove the date, but that might make things difficult for film shooters that have to scan images.
I wanted to keep this one simple to see how much interest was drummed up. no point in committing to doing any more of these if there isn't going to be much interest.

how about this...
if, after two weeks, there are still people that want to participate but feel they just need a little more time, ill extend the time frame and consider making it a permanent change to the rules.
for now though, lets just see what two weeks (ish) gets.
