About Flickr Challenge Group!

The Flickr Challenge Group was established for the friendly competition of photos between Flickr members in which contestants will be competing for a place in the Flickr Challenge Group photo pool.

The group has 16 challenges. They all have a theme (see title).
10 photo's are allowed in every challenge. After the 10th photo we start voting. The first photo with five votes is the winner.

Welcome, and we look forward to seeing your photos in our challenges. Please take a moment to read our rules below before participating in the group. If you need further clarification, then please review our Instruction Links below or ask a question in the Chat thread.
