Why are MEMBERS limited to entering only one of the "Exclusive Open Challenge" challenges?
10/08/2007 07:38:47 PM · #2
because they were created to keep the numbers down in each one.

We used to have only one Open challenge each week. The numbers got to over 600 every single week & people started begging to have 2 exclusive challenges.... careful what you wish for. :P

I wish for 720x720 pixels in each challenge.

This announcement from 2005 should explain it. The intent is to keep the number of entries manageable.

Plus, instead of having just one challenge like in the past, now you have the choice of two.

Thanks for the replies.....a choice for some is a limit to others. ;)

I wish I had remembered that when I went out over the weekend and endeavored to shoot both a Flora and a Fauna entry. :p

Always good to shoot for both and then choose the best entry after processing...

You're joking, right?????

You've been here almost two years and entered *two* challenges!

Step up and take the abuse, son!.....8>)

It's more about not having the time to go out and make the photographs. After working 60 hour weeks -- which means saying goodbye to my kids right when they wake up for school and goodnight to them right when I get home -- I'm not totally willing to take time away from my family to pursue hobbies right now. (And yes, I'd rather work less and hobby more, but I get paid for the work so that's also more in my family's best interests.) Anyway, I didn't initially join here to enter the challenges, which explains why I went a year and a half before doing one. But I'm also becoming more active in a local camera club I've joined, which will hopefully create more opportunities (and skill) for me to get some more entries in on here. FWIW, I expect to enter two challenges this week. :)
