I'm thinking sometime in December it would be cool to have a challenge where everyone can re-enter one of theyr photo's they entered all year. Special rules, the date can be any time in 2004 and the image must be entered before in a challenge. I also think it would be cool to be a 24 hour speedy one because everyone has theyr photos already taken and a week for submission would be a waste of time. Could be called "photo of the year" or "a second chance".

I think it would just turn into a hero worshop, popularity contest type of thing. We have too much of that already. Anonymity is really an esential part of the dpc concept. However I think it would be cool to have a listing of the top 100 for the year based on the votes they already got in challenges.

PS also a rule should be "no re-editing" the photo must be exactly similar to the one entered before.

I don't want to see the same photos in another challenge. I want different ones.

But I like the idea, sort of. How about a 12 month OPEN challenge. Submit the best photo you took all year. It should not be one you've already entered, but I'm flexible on that last rule.

I agree too that some will act that way, but not everyone also I doubt anyone knows all photo's here and who they made it, and verry few have actual time to search and lookup who made each photo...

I think it would be really interesting to see them re-envisioned. Might show how people have grown, changed or generally improved over the year.

The negative is the score, the print is the performance and all that.
I know I treat RAW files from a year ago quite differently from how I originally saw the final version. It can be an enlightening exercise to see how your view might have changed. For example, I'm less heavy handed with the saturation than I used to be.
