Let the Games Begin

[GbyP]

************ Gabbo sez...
This area is intended to allow all of you the chance to create, organize and play your own one-off contests. Whether you want to challenge someone to a H2H battle, want to create a photoshop chain, or just have an idea for something fun to try and want to see how it works, this is the place for you.

Start a new topic and state your ideas or rules, or start a discussion to allow others to help form a collective set of rules to play by. You can create your topic as a poll to form a rudimentary voting system, even at a later date (topic starter has to edit the first post to turn a post into a poll). Test the limits, and see what kinds of new challenges you can come up with. - Gabbo1928

Some Open Challenge Ideas
Here are some ideas discussed...
1. Hairy challenge - find some bald subjects and give them convincing hirsuite - a do, beard, mustache, etc
2. Water challenge - put a room, home, or street underwater with an added challenge aspect - rushing water, turgid, deep sea elements
3. Night to day challenge - convert a night pic into a daylight pic; added difficulty: set the time of day and weather conditions.
4. Seasonal challenge - convert a Summer pic to Winter or some other season. Caveat: No San Diego or Florida pics.
5. Aging/Youth challenge

and a couple new ideas...
6. Compositing challenge - given 4 O's combine at least 3 into a composite
7. Aged Picture challenge - age the O itself so that the photo looks old/worn/weathered
If you have great ideas that you would like to share, please feel free to post your idea in this thread then I will add it/them to the list.

If you want to start a new challenge, you are under no obligation to use one of these themes. But if you want to use one, go for it!
