Forum avatar challenge

over a year ago

Years ago, when I first started using the forums, we used to have regular avatar challenges....there would be a theme set and forumites would get a few days to create a new profile pic in keeping with the theme.

Entrants would be listed and forumites would vote, 3 votes each, for a winner.

The winner would choose the next theme.

They were great fun and really got people chatting.

I'd like to kick this off again with a new challenge if there's enough interest....

Would you guys take part?

They were fun when I first joined but fairly recently someone done it weekly and it got a bit Zzzzzz. Not sure what happened with that!

But, yes, it is a nice idea

Like all good things you can get too much. In principle I’m in favour as long as it is sporadic.

I'll start a thread for people to declare themselves in and set rules etc....

Is Sunday evening a suitable closing date for entries do we think?

You can get a mini tripod and a remote control for mobiles for a few quid on Amazon

That's all far too sophisticated for me...I have a selfie stick and a built in timer I've propped my phone up in all sorts of places

Same here. They were fun when they were occasional but when they were every weekend they lost some of their creativity and charm for me. Some of my favourite avatars have been a result of those threads though.

Yep I started with that but ran out of props for certain locations - the mini tripod cost less that a fiver and the remote was about £3

The S4 is a great phone, it’s the operator that slowed down
