I see this, but my point was more that I don't think this is visible enough - it's too far down the page and gets a bit lost amongst all the other forums.

But this is just my two pence, I just suggest that there is a link to it that's visible and accessable from anywhere in the forum. This would ensure everyone sees it, no matter which page they have bookmarked for the forums.

The only reason I can think of is that a lot of the new members that arrive here often start in their introduction posts by stating that they are novices or complete newbies to PS. Even if they stick around long enough to notice the challenges, they might simply feel they are not competent enough to take part, or make a judgement on the work of someone who has. I would love to see more people of all abilities taking part and being encouraged by the process.

Perhaps the challenges could be pushed as a way to test out their new found knowledge from their time here on the forums? Make it clear also that the voting process simply comes down to which one you like best, and is completely anonymous as to who voted for what.

And no worries about your response - I think this kind of discussion is healthy and helpful. Let's hope some positive changes come out of it.
