  1. No
This week, your pics of monuments, memorials, commemoratives etc. All styles, subjects and sizes accepted.

This challenge begins when posted and ends at noon GMT, 1 December 2025. After that voting will commence.

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host a new challenge.

* NOTE: This week's challenge winner will be decided by voting - See below *.


The General Image Rules:

  • Camera: Any CAMERA is allowed (images from scanned film are also allowed);
  • Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered (meaning won competitions here, so no problem as of yet!);
  • Size: Maximum image size is 1600px on the long end. Minimum size is 800px;
  • Post Processing: Do whatever you like, and the voters/host will decide if it works;
  • Title your image;
  • Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer per challenge;
  • Commenting: No commenting or likes during challenge. After the challenge is closed discussion is encouraged;
  • Keep it clean, and both family and work safe;
  • Have lots of FUN;
The rules for choosing the winner in a voting week:
  1. Once the challenge is closed on Monday noon GMT, voting will commence;
  2. The voting window will be closed 24 hours later on Tuesday noon GMT;
  3. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote;
  4. Contestants cannot vote for their own image;
  5. Voters must cast 3 votes. Any fewer and the votes will be discarded. The only exception is if there are fewer entries, in which case all must be included in the votes;
  6. The votes will be tallied as follows: 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point;
  7. The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so;
  8. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks;
  9. In case of a tie, the host will make the final decision;
  10. After the challenge has ended, everyone is invited to comment on the images and/or provide feedback on their vote choices!
Hosting:
  • The next challenge host is the winner of the previous challenge.
  • Once your win is announced, go to Games, Competitions and Challenges and choose "Post thread"
  • In the top (title) line, enter Weekend Task #X - Your Topic
  • Copy / paste the sticky below, in the message area, and click "Post thread", at the bottom of the page.
  • Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, declare the contest closed and post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
  • If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.

A memorial we came across in New Zealand, commemorating the passengers and crew of a Douglas DC-3 Skyliner that crashed into the mountains during stormy weather in 1963.
