I was under the impression that weekly challenges are to last for ONE week, as per Guideline/Rule (1) :
"Each challenge will run for 1 (one) week, beginning on Sunday and ending at 12:00pm (eastern daylight time) on the following Sunday."
The first weekly challenge I participated was from August 5th till 11th, but it lasted over that period and it's almost two weeks that there is no result.
The second weekly challenge, strangely, is from 14th to 26th. If my interpretation of the above rule is right, then in this case, a week consists of 13 days.
There are many experts who keep on shooting and shooting for the love of doing so. But there are also members who are pretty occupied in their professional and personal life and who want to take out the passion once a week.
Somehow, I feel, given the two challenges which I am involved in, it just kills the enthusiasm about participating in a weekly challenge.
There are times, when I was pretty new to the site and trying to explore the better camera and the lens to get. At that time, there were answers that were given to me which I felt are a bit rude. When I can be criticized about such things, I believe, I have the right to point out the lapses in organizing such weekly contests which go way beyond the deadlines. There has to be a deadline to decide a winner after the contest closes, provided the contest also closes within the specified time, which is ONE WEEK.
Just my thoughts!
