As part of our Summer pledge drive we're excited to announce Five to Five, an online game that could result in an anonymous $5000 donation to WBEZ. The game is divided into five tasks, which you can learn about here.

The Flickr portion of the game is call SnapSpot. Here's how to play:

Print out one of our “WBEZ Spots” or use anything that says WBEZ or Chicago Public Radio that you already have, take a picture of it (if you're in it, even better) and then upload that photo to
our Flickr pool
. Please tag the photo "fivetofive"!

Goal:
20 uploaded photos = $1000 for WBEZ!

Prize:
The most interesting photo wins a WBEZ t-shirt

When I'm logged on to flickr I can see my photo. Otherwise I can't.

How close are you to meeting the challenge? Are there really only 4 photos? Mine should make 5. (FiveToFive umbrella)

I can't tell so I think I must be doing something wrong. I want my pic to help reach the goal.

Any advice?

Thanks for submitting to the Challenge! I can see the umbrella image just fine, but maybe your problem is related to your photo privacy settings. You'll want to make sure your images submitted to groups are visible to everyone.

thanks,
Andrew

is there a limit for the number of images for an individual? not to outright cheat to complete your challenge... but I am in nascar country, and that seems to be the way around here :D

Multiple images are fine. The challenge ends at 5pm Friday - we need to get to 20 photos to get $1,000 for WBEZ so upload away, and be sure to tage each one "fivetofive"!

At 4:50, I saw only 17 photos, and the challenge wasn't marked "complete," so I slammed out 3 more. The display even now only shows 19--it regularly drops one or more of my photos.

Me too. I added three more but "now you see them, now you don't." This challenge is done!! Don't let flickr glitches keep you from the reward.

Oh, darn! I forgot to take a picture because my camera's memory card is full. I just remembered and it's 4:44 p.m. here, but then I realized it's already past 5 p.m. in Chicago. Ahh...I missed out. I've never been to Chicago and live in California, but I LOVE Ira Glass and This American Life, as well as Car Talk and Wait Wait. I hope the challenge gets to count as completed.

Yes, I know all the photos submitted to this group are supposed to be taken in Chicago, but I was going to bend the rules just this once to send some WBEZ love from California. I promise I won't be regularly submitting any photos I've taken here. :)

I just checked...again...and it's finally marked "completed!" Yay! I was getting to the point of trying to call BEZ and tell someone how to find all the entries. I'm glad people made it to the mass dance, too.

Hi Everyone-
Thanks so much for your help in completing this challenge! Sorry for the confusion over the number of submissions- there are definitely enough submissions, it's just some Flickr quirks that make the totals show up differently.
We'll announce the winning submission soon!

Fickle Flickr still seems to be having problems capturing the tagged photos ... making it more of a challenge.
