Based on Ernest Hamingway's famous six word story ("For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn."), tell your own story in 1 photo with a six word title.

Jupiter Mars, Venus Uranus Earth Pluto!

Six worlds and a picture, just like you asked for...

ETA: This is really a great idea, (the one with 6 words) and I'd love to see this run!

You'll want to use the "report post" button I think.

I thought that was just to report it as spam. I'm sure SC will come across it soon enough, anyone who opens the thread should get the idea (eventually).

Not sure, I do know that you're supposed to use it to change titles on the Buy/Sell threads once your item sells, so it would make sense that it's appropriate to use it for this, although I'm honestly guessing.

And - on our original subject-

Six words to tell a story huh? Pretty tough, but I think a picture can help loads on this...

Really, this sounds like a ton of fun, I hope they accept this idea quick!

I hope this gets picked. It will be a wonderful challenge if people don't shoehorn their entries. =P

I love the idea. Would love to see this happen

This could be fun. I just went through the 78 challenges that I have participated in & only three have a six word title in them. To be honest, when I am scoring challenges, I dont really pay that much attention to the titles. This one would definetly have you reading the titles to see how the photograph fits. I have always thought if a title has to tell you what your looking at, it some how took something away from the photograph but this one would encourage it in a creative way.

I have the complete opposite opinion! I think a title is part of the image. Even "Untitled" is better than a bad title. A title can make you look at something in a completely different way that what it appears to be. For example:

I agree in part. I have given extra and taken away points for good/bad titles.
I don't think 'untitled' is a better than a bad title -- to me untitled says "I don't care about this iamge enough to title it" so I say "why should I, as a voter, credit it with a good mark." This is why I'm liking the over/under competitions. As a voter you're forced to read the title.

I hope this gets chosen, though I've no idea what I'd submit.

I'm not sure I believe that you could have gotten the duct tape off with zero pain.

my favourite 6 word story is one written by my brother (I believe it earned him an A in a college english class)

"Ipod, no warranty. Toilet, no mercy."
