Ok now we've tried a few different formats of the Monthly Challenge so far and it seems to be doing ok...but it could possibly get better. I have a few other ideas for this but would like everyone's imput and ideas also..seeing it is your forum too:) My ideas: Set a years worth of topics for each month. For example. May - Glass June - Fire July - Rust August - Wood or May - Fantasy stlye characters June - SciFi space battle etc, etc ---------------------------------- Basicly with this idea we all as a group decide on when to start this and what topics/challenges to have. Once we get all the details figured out I can post the list on the sidebar link and you can start any paticular months challenge whenever you wish and post it when the time comes. This is just an idea. If anyone has some please feel free to post them here and we can see what sounds best...or we can just stick to what we are doing now:) GeorgeD
