# You made this,
you think it should win the compo? ;)

# fuck it, why not, the number of entries that are actually pro the police is tiny
it was anything goes by the third entry I think

Lets stop calling it a challenge, "random image post" might be better

# It's a one word image challenge isn't it.
I know there are more words... but only one matters to most...

is a fine philosophy

# Since when did anyone really follow the guidelines?
if it's not following guidelines it's 'pearoast for the compo'

I think we should be thankful that the challenge brief didn't mention the word 'movie'

# Every few months I just get fed up with people pointlessly entering the challenge
It's a challenge, the clue is in the title, challenge yourself to come up with something that fits the brief.

It's not compulsory, you don't have to do something, don't panic and post something shit just to not feel left out.

And if you want to do something left field or the opposite to the challenge, fine, do it, it'll be funny like normal B3ta stuff, just don't enter it in to the challenge. YOU BIG MONG.

# the challenges last too long
a whole week means a lot of shit thrown at the board and everyone gets bored of the same gags over and over. It should just be 'Challenge Friday' or something.

# If you don't like a picture
dont worry, another one comes along in a min.

I don't like the endless kittens/fruit/misc with human teeth slapped on them which then get awarded FP for no good reason.

There is loads of tosh posted.
Ya got to dig to get to the gold.

It's all main board to me. sometimes I'll have a look to see what it is. It's just a week of bandwagon.

One argument was 'too exclusive not everyone can draw' clearly the challenge was too challenging :S

# personally I would say your good shopping skills got you an FP
not the fact that it was entered in to the challenge. But you could argue that yours is a ay of getting new recruits, if Lightsabres were standard issue, I'd sign up.

# Shopping skills lol
right down to the the way the lightsaber seamlessly disappears behind the other copper's face :)

But hey I'll take any compliments I get - cheers :)

I tend to regard compo descriptors more as guidance rather than hard and fast. It just gives me a bit of fodder if I'm having a slow work day and feel like turning my hand to something...

# I'm not knocking one word challenges
just saying they aren't very challenging.
If they wanted to call it the weekly theme, then it would make sense. At the moment its like B3ta is a school for special children who are all winners.

# semantics, then. you don't like something being called a challenge when it isn't.
people used to/still do call it a compo. competitions don't have to be challenging. just call it a compo and all is well

Yeah but it's a tough challange. TO make the police look good.
I got close but Photoshop actually disappeared in a paradoxical cadence.
At least sting hasn't featured as much as I thought he would.
