This would be a fun challenge.
Take a creative image in which the focus is based on One-Point Perspective.

Oh, yes. as a bonus suggestion:
We haven't had a "Where's Waldo" Challenge in a loooong time.

A straightforward example of 1-pt perspective:



By way of contrast, this is 2-pt perspective:



I like challenges like this :-)

I'm sort of following, but I think I need a better description of the concept to be sure of exactly what this is.

When you make a perspective drawing where all receding lines extend to the same vanishing point, like in my first example, that's 1-point perspective. When the receding lines go to two vanishing points (usually left and right) that's 2-point perspective. The vanishing point is usually on the implied horizon, BTW.

Go here to see examples of 1, 2, and 3 point perspectives as applied to architectural subjects:

Bear - you're doing a great job. Were you ever a teacher in your various incarnations?

:-))

Oh, yes. the famous one-point perspective example is the road or railroad tracks and the telephone poles.
Stand in the middle, and where they converge is the vanishing point, or the one-point perspective.

Sure!

I taught photography at University of California and in the Yosemite workshops.

Okay, that explains it.

That's a nice link, btw. I could spend lots of time in there.

We've had multiple Vanishing Point challenges. What would be the difference in titling it One Point Perspective?
