Thanks.

Point usually means a single point but unless the person who suggested the challenge pipes in we won't know if that is what they intended or not.
However, the description does not need to be specific. So if you have come up with two different interpretations then you have a choice to make as to which interpretation to pursue for your creation. |

Yes, the challenge topics are randomly chosen. A challenge topic that allows for more than one interpretation is not ambiguous.
Anyway, how does the SC know any better than anyone else (other than the person who suggested the topic) what was intended by the descriptions? |
"Ambiguity is the property of being ambiguous, where a word, term, notation, sign, symbol, phrase, sentence, or any other form used for communication, is called ambiguous if it can be interpreted in more than one way."
I do not want to start a debate with you. It was a simple question for the SC, not you. You have a good day. |
That's the beauty of the challenges here. We get many different interpretations and therefore many different creative entries. |
Good point. Unfortunately not every voter will take ambiguity as an opportunity to appreciate creativity as you would . I foresee a lot of discussions during voting:-) |

This is what I said: "But it would be great to start with a clear description from SC to avoid any DNMC debates later on."
The purpose of asking it here was so everyone benefits from a clarification from the SC if there is one. I hope that is clear enough.

What clarification? it is up to you to interpret the challenge description and come up with something...oh and there is always debate on DNMC doesn't matter how the challenge description is written |

I agree with the last part of what you said: "there is always debate on DNMC doesn't matter how the challenge description is written".
In absence of any clear description then, I will be interpreting the description to be as open as a 'free study with a color image', and will watch my submission bomb if I decide to enter one!
ETA: Btw you have fantastic portraits in your Vietnam collection.

Thanks Prash....the description may be vague or even cryptic at times but at least in this case you can look back on the first challenge and gauge how the voters interpreted the description, good luck. |
