It's a very specific circumstance and one I've wondered about. Possible rider: "Yes, Shaggy, you may have Bear_Music process and upload your images during your trip. He may ONLY convert to jpg, resize, and apply autolevels and/or autocolor and/or USM to your images."
There must BE circumstances that allow collaboration, or the rule about requesting permission wouldn't be there. We've already seen it with the group membership for the kids, and we've seen (frequently) parents giving their kids a hand with technical stuff as they make the entries.
I would assume, for example, that if I shot a challenge photo for a month-long free study, then got stricken with paralysis (God forbid) and asked for permission to have my friend Jill (not a member) PS the image with me instructing her, and upload it for me, that such permission would be granted...

If you're stricken with paralysis and within the week, you're still that desperate to submit to DPC, you need more help than I thought.
I don't really see a reason while all sorts of provisions needs to be made. If you're a child and constantly need help, fine. If you're going to be away on vacation, busy, blind or suddenly stricken with leprosy, just don't submit. The earth will continue to spin on its axis, the sun will rise and set and all will be fine (except for the blind leper). |

No, that doesn't work - the raping and the cancer are entirely unrelated. Should be if a guy killed 20,000 [insert racial minority here] for laboratory purposes and in the process discovered the cure for cancer, would you be willing to overlook any criminal acts, no matter how heinous?
But carry on... |

OH PUHLEEZE! |
Yes, if you cure cancer then all of that stuff and more is worth it;) |
The only problem with this premise lies in the word "plan", which in itself suggests at the very best a projection of things to come. Planning something is not the same as actually achieving that goal, and therein lies the problem.
Everyone of us has or had plans for the bettterment of mankind... but that in itself does not grant us licence to skirt rules and regulations in order to help us achieve our ambitions.
The intent is noble... the methods...well....what can I say.
Just a thought.

That's why I specified the "month-long Free Study", eh? In my mental scenario I shot the picture June 1st, got in an accident June 2nd, came home from the hospital June 25th, realized I'd never again be able to take a picture, and wanted to ask my friend for help to post my last picture ever into my last challenge ever.
And YOU, you heartless person, YOU would deny me this exemption? Fie on thee :-)

Of course, I may also ask for her help one more time for "Best of 2006" but I swear, that will be the end of it :-)
