As a perpetual ‘also ran’ participant, I did not have any good ideas of my own prepared, so I went to a thread Nancy (odigi) started a while back on potential challenge topics. It can be found here (let’s keep it going…

Thank you Nancy!
There were several ideas I liked, but the one I decided to go with is…
===================================================
Challenge 96: “Found in a Kitchen Drawer”
===================================================
This can include typical kitchen utensils or tools, or (if you’re like me), other odds and ends that you might keep in a junk drawer in your kitchen. Heck, I’ll even throw in kitchen cabinets. Look around, see what you might have hidden away, put things together in an expected way; get creative; but most of all, have fun.
I realize a lot of people are busy this time of year, with holidays and whatnot. I’m hoping that this will be a fairly easy challenge for everyone to enter if they choose. It’s wide open, so get thee to your kitchen…
Challenge 96 is open from now (about 11:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time) on June 30 2005, and will run until 10:00 pm on Tuesday July 12 2005 Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

So come on everybody, search your kitchen, look inside those drawers or cabinets, join in and enjoy!

GUIDELINES
These guidelines are meant to help things run smoothly for all... and to serve as a handy reference to answer common questions. Thanks for reading thru all this stuff again:
- Up to three (3) images are allowed in each of the two galleries (Eligible and Exhibition). Each photographer can choose whether to enter one or more photos per gallery. This should generally accommodate everyone's personal style and approach to the challenges...whatever works best to make the challenge more fun for you.
- You can enter photos anonymously if you want to. If you do, I'm asking you to send me an email indicating your identity for any anonymous entries. My address is in my forum profile.
- Collaborating on entries is also welcome. An artist can be involved in up to three collaborative efforts in addition to the usual three single images allowed in each gallery.
- Those who prefer to have critiques of their photos be more "critical", feel free to mark the image title with an asterisk ( ).
- Please put your name (identity choice) and a unique title on each of your image thumbnails. It really helps to keep voting problem issues to a minimum.
- Please resize your images to no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side before uploading to pBase... can be larger if a panoramic image. This cuts down on too much usage, and it helps to preserve the quality of your image upload for best viewing.
- Please keep your questions and concerns posted in this thread for best response. One of us will address them as soon as possible.
- Challenge time period will run from now (about 11:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time) Thursday, June 30th, 2005, thru Tuesday, July 12th , 2005, at 10pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Time tables will be posted in the galleries. A separate voting thread will be posted shortly after the end of the Challenge period.
- Eligible images must be taken with a Sony digital camera...& within the challenge time period. The winner of this gallery will host the next Challenge. All entries should include a date indicating when the photo was taken..."exif" data attached would be ideal (if available). "Exif" data is a big help to a lot of viewers for a variety of reasons. If the "exif" data is not preserved, try writing it into your caption (by referring to the original photo's "exif" data that should be available before doing any photo processing). At the least, please include the date the photo was taken on all the eligible photos. This is a popular request...so I'm passing along your requests here. THANKS, everybody, for your friendly cooperation.
- Exhibition images can be obtained with any camera at any time. If you do not want to host the next Challenge, this is the gallery you should post your images to.
- I'll post a link to the challenge 96 gallery page as soon as the galleries are set up.
