The Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges, Keeping You On Your Toes...
- The top five winners of each round will be qualified to play in a quarterly themed Mega-Challenge.
- Each round will be judged by the winner of a previous round and Greensquared, who will each select their top ten. This shortlist will then go to public vote to determine the top five winners. Mega-Challenges will be judged by a panel of five judges only.
- Zero downtime. Challenges will run continually.

I am challenged?
Glad to hear that we will be starting up with some new challenges. I personally feel that without being pushed that I would stagnate. Get me outside my box.

thinking outside the box i see:D incase your right, i better go find my thinking cap...it hasnt been used in a while...
Since this is a "discussion" thread I'll throw out one thing I'd like added at some point in the future. I really liked having a 2nd teir to the challenges, though it wouldn't have to be so formal as LPS was. But I think it'd be neat to have perhaps every six months, or once a year, something like the LPS semifinals were - a limited entry no theme contest that some selection of the top choices from the previous rounds compete. No special prizes or anything, but just sort of a second reward and a different level of challenge for those who make it. Anyway, something to consider once this has been going awhile and perhaps it would only be a small wrinkle to add more interest.
In any case, bring on the challenges! And Thanks!

I loved LPS, it is the reason that my photography improved so rapidly. I loved competing among people 234234 times better and more experienced than myself--that's what made me grow and improve.
Anyway, keep the prizes going!
Bring on the creativity!
There will be prizes, I just haven't gotten them approved, but wanted to go ahead and get started anyway. Pretty sure everyone would agree with that decision.

that's all
Round 1 is live, I even revealed the topic 10 minutes early!
If you haven't checked them out yet, go see the Rules, you will hopefully be pleasantly suprised by some of the changes/additions.
And the prizes have been approved, every 3 weeks we'll be giving away:

Many thanks to you, the other volunteers and DGrin for getting this going.

Quick question about the prizes. For SmugMug users that have an account greater than a standard account, how would the 2-5th place prizes be handled?
Thanks for getting this going. I like the theme for the first round.

Good question- as I have a pro account and plan to win this year.
If nothing else it makes a great gift for family or friends.
