Well, here we go!
Welcome to Kodak CHALLENGE 1... And the theme is 'Hyper Architecture'.
What does THAT mean?... Well, it means whatever you think it means,
and whatever your fellow voters think it means when they see your
photos. But as a few pointers I'd say that your photos should use
unusual crops, perspectives or post-processing to bring out the
architectural form or nature of your subject. Of course, the
subject doesn't have to be a building - just anything with
interesting and 'architectural' form. The header pix in the Pbase
gallery will give an idea but NOT a lead... and please note that
they cannot be voted for!
The challenge will run from NOW! The shooting and entry period
starts as of this moment, and will run until 1200 London time on
Monday 14th June.
Don't forget to read the rules but the most important thing to note
is that there's a max of three entries per gallery per person
(that's six per challenge) and that there are two galleries per
challenge. The COMPETITION GALLERY is the 'main course' - it's for
pix taken during the challenge period and with a Kodak SLR camera.
The EXHIBITION GALLERY is for all other pics - raid your back
catalogue or use another camera.
The prize, courtesy of Jay/Kodak, will be something relevant and
useful and will be awarded to the winner of the competition
gallery. That winner will also go on to choose the theme for and
moderate the next challenge.
Thanks also to Pbase for donating the space to host the challenges:
Pbase is a fantastic way of displaying and sharing your work and if
you don't have an account already then please 'support our sponsor'
!.....
Voting starts as soon as the shooting period ends, and will run
until 1200 London time on Thursday 17th June. Results will be
announced very soon thereafter... but since I'm moving house on the
18th, bear with me!
The winner of the first challenge will moderate the next one...
In the meantime, please check out some Help and Rules info (sorry
it's not pretty - I'm pretty tied up right now) and then post your
entries at:

Any questions or observations, please post to this thread and I
will endeavour to respond quickly. Also, please feel free to
announce your postings in this thread so as to alert others to them.
Best of luck!
