Challenges[edit]

Everybody can participate in challenges open for submission. You simply

Choose one or all of the current challenges
Read the challenge description(s), which may vary in their rules (e.g., some place restrictions on when the photos are taken)
Take picture(s) for the challenge(s) during the challenge period (or, if allowed, select from your own existing pictures that are not yet on Commons)

Challenges are open to any Commons user. Submissions must be your own work, not previously uploaded to Commons prior to the challenge date and should illustrate the challenge theme in the opinion of the photographer. Please read the challenge descriptions, as there may be additional rules or explanations for specific challenges. There is no limit on the number of submissions per user, but please choose from among your best and most varied images.

New themes can be proposed and discussed here.

After the challenge has closed to new submissions, the pictures will be assessed by popularity voting in the subsequent month. You are allowed to vote for images submitted by others if your Commons account is at least ten days old and has more than 50 edits or if you participated in one of the challenges. Challenges open for voting can be found here.

2014 – December–January – Bad weather

The first December challenge features Bad weather. Pick a day where you normally wouldn't go outside unless you really had to. Grab whatever camera you dare to take and head out to snap some pictures anyway. Raining cats and dogs? That's your day. Fog so thick you won't notice the difference between color and black&white? Bingo. Wind so strong your tripod would tip over? Guess you'll have to shoot handheld. Rules: Sky must be overcast (flat light), no "sun peaking through the clouds", no "glistening water droplets after the rain", no sunsets, no rainbows etc. Also no "long exposures of lightning in the distance at night", that's much too beautiful. This is about adjectives like ugly, cold and wet after all.

Ideally, each submission should contain a summary description of the subject in the file information, including the location of the subject, and relevant categories should be added to the files to enable other Commons users to find them and use them. Please take care not to violate copyright in respect of non-free creative works, and observe our educational project scope and the personality rights of identifiable people, or your files may be subject to deletion.
