Each week, the weekly challenge will be in one of 3 categories:
Story Telling: Good photographers can take beautiful images of something. Great photographers can tell a story with an image. In this category, you will take a prompt and turn it into a photographic story.
Compositional Eye: In past challenges, we have explored the rules of composition. This year we push the rules even further by using them in specific ways to train your compositional eye.
Inspiration: In this wide-open category, we start with a simple inspiration. Use this inspiration as creatively as you can. There are no rules so feel free to think outside of the box.
Week 1 - Story Telling: Self-Portrait. Take a picture that tells us who you are, without actually showing your face.
Week 2 - Composition: Rule of Thirds Motion. You already know what the rule of thirds is, now is the time to use it. Use Rule of Thirds to show motion in your picture.
Week 3 - Inspiration: Black and White. Your inspiration this week is to simply take an amazing Black and White photograph of any subject you want.
Week 4 - Story Telling: Warmth. Tell a story that makes us feel warm inside.
Week 5 - Composition: Symmetry Landscape. A landscape is one of the most practiced types of photography. Use Symmetry in a Landscape to create a new viewpoint for this week's image.
Week 6 - Inspiration: #NoFilter. No limit on what you shoot this week, as long as the image is pure. No filters, presets or other edits. Basic exposure corrections only this week.
Week 7 - Story Telling: Love Story. Make us feel the love in this week's photo. Tell a love story in one image.

Week 10 - Story Telling: Hometown. Tell us the story of your hometown. It could be a famous landmark, something the town is known for, or even just your favorite place to relax.

Week 13 - Story Telling: New Beginnings. Our world is full of circular patterns; as some things end, others begin. Tell us a story of a New Beginning.
