Quote - Sure, that's how it is, and how it has been for a long time.

Can't see anyone forcing you to keep it that way. If you have a winner, you give people a reason to participate, and by displaying the winner, you improve the visiblity of the challenge.

Anyhow, it was just a thought.

Another: if the challenge is to be kept non-competitive, why does it run so long? If it's just a fun "shoot some images on this theme and show them here", why run it longer than a week? As it is, a person can check the challenge, think "nah, not interested this month", and then it's a whole month before there's something new to consider.

I am honest with you a week is to short for me. I have commitments during the day and do work different shifts every week. So if the challenge is a week i will not be able to participate. I am happy with a month or even two months. I do not see a problem with the winner choosing the next theme but PK do also have valid points that it is a challenge to improve ones photography and not a competition.God Bless.
