I would structure the threads a little differently. I think we should announce (and post) a photo, then have a separate thread a week or two later where everyone can post their submissions. This way, people have as much time as they need to work, but people who come early aren't getting an unfair advantage from hubski's comment/post sorting algorithm. Rewards are completely unnecessary in my book, I just enjoy the activity! If someone wanted to send out some stickers, however, I'd always take them :) I'm game as hell, let's do this!
Ah-ha! So if I'm reading this right, then you're suggesting we announce the stock photo further in advance?I think we should announce (and post) a photo, then have a separate thread a week or two later where everyone can post their submissions.

Agreed!
Yup, exactly! I just think it'll even the playing field for people who are busy :) I love the idea, I hope we get more people who want to participate other than me! I have a feeling that if we start posting threads, people will join in. Kind of a "if you build it, they will come" thing, you know?
I was thinking of using this thread as the first suggestion thread, but a designated one could be made in a jiffy. July 1st is my plan for the first battle to start. If there are no crowd sourced photos posted then, I'll just have to take a few shots myself. Although, I have a thought in my head: it'd be cool, if she's willing, to have a shot from elizabeth's travels as one of the stock photos at one point.
