06 participant guide
What You Need
1- complete the challenge - read the current challenge
2- post your challenge with a description on your blog
3- grab the URL to the static post, not the link to your main blog page and upload the link
NOTE: we do not accept direct picture uploads
Also - to post a link you must be be signed up as a member of this site - to do this scroll down the side bar to meta and sign in - get a password emailed to you and update your profile with your information - you only need to do this once - to upload you link you must be signed in to the site - if you are using the same computer then you will be signed in until you sign out.
How It Works
Each month a self portrait challenge is posted, you must interpret the challenge however you like, and then each week in the month there is an opportunity to participate. You can upload only once each week.
The links are archived each monday and the week starts on the tuesday, you may upload you link on any day you wish, but the earlier in the week the better - as soon as monday comes around they will be archived.
About Your Links
Your submitted link must be to a static page that will always show your image or images for the particular Challenge, and not to your website’s main page. Doing this makes it easier for visitors to find your image related to that week’s Challenge.
If you link to a page and we cannot find an image on that page that relates to the Challenge your link will be deleted.
finding your static link - on a weblog, they’re often called the ‘Permalink’ or ‘Individual Entry Archive’ pages. They’re the pages that correspond to an individual post in your weblog. Sometimes it’s linked to the date of your post.
Incorrect:
http://www.mysite.com
CORRECT:
http://www.mysite.com/archive/mypicture.html
Or something like that; your site may have a different structure from this example.
One Link Per Challenge
Please only submit one link per challenge, even if you have several photos for the week’s Challenge. If you need your link changed for whatever reason, contact us and we’ll change it.
Only one link per URL allowed each week - additional links to the same site, even when pointing to different images or pages, may be deleted. When additional links to the same site are found, our practice is to delete the newer link(s).
Please Remember…
We reserve the right to modify or delete any link, or the text associated with any link, for any reason, without notice.

Oh thank you. This is so much fun. In a safe way it takes down some of the barriers between us and it promotes creativity.

I made the stupid mistake of uploading my entry for this week a few minutes before midnight. That means it is now archived. Is there a way to fix it?
