Ah, Tom has hit on a point which I have made a few times in the years of popping in and out of this forum..... I've always thought that while you can take amazing pictures close to home, the ones that get the big bucks and publicity and competition prizes (think pulitzer here) are the ones that are in places where people generally don't go, but could if it was down to time and money.
And ironically, IMO, they're pretty easy photo's to get once you're there...... look at the pitiful faces in Africa..... and look how it would take just an hour of being amongst the people to get a dozen photo's with just as much impact. Ditto extreme places etc etc.
I've just had a glance at the challenge. Good, I might even hang around a little while to see how it goes. lol.
