I didn't see this posted anywhere else on the forums and thought it maybe of interest to other RFF members:

"The Street Photography Now Project is a global hunt for new talent in street photography.

Each week from 1 October 2010, a leading contemporary street photographer will issue a new instruction, written to inspire fresh ways of looking at and documenting the world we all live in.

You will have six days to upload one photograph in response to each instruction. To do this just join the Group for that week through this Flickr site. You may respond to as many instructions as you wish.

The project will run for 52 weeks, at the end of which one photographer will be awarded £1000 worth of Thames and Hudson books for the most significant contribution the project. Their work will also be shown on the Wall for All at The Photographers’ Gallery in London

For more information visit streetphotographynowproject.wordpress.com/

To sign up to receive each instruction by email the moment it is issued email signup@photonet.org.uk

The Street Photography Now Project is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery, London and Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren, authors of Street Photography Now (Thames and Hudson)."​
 
Simon would win, hands down if he entered.

Um, it says to follow the instructions, but there are no instructions. What's up with that??
 
I agree with that, but what they said sounds more like voicing a thought - which also can be interpreted as instruction if it stated so. If they had said "Follow this thought to make your photo" I could see it as instruction. The way they worded it just really threw me and for some reason is still very irritating. My problem, I know, and I don't know why it's bugging me the way it is.
 
I saw this as well...

I followed links, went to the home page, flikr page #1 and #2 and was still a bit confused about how to join and what to do.


Got frustrated then decided to start a new project on my own.

The idea is great; the excution seems a bit lax 🙂
 
This really sucks. Between work and getting ready to move, I don't have any time to take pics, especially for week 1. Have to see what I can do about week 2 coming up.
 
Not a big fan of this project. There will be very good shots uploaded, but with thousands semi-random submissions each week, they will be completely lost and taken out of context. Even some amazing photographs like our Simon, that are able to tell stories and a build a street philosophy in their work, just to risk be overlooked. It's kind of a waste...
What's the point of that? If it's just fun, that's cool, but i wouldn't take it very seriously.
I'm curious to know what brings you guys to submit there if you did. I'm open to change my mind!!! 🙂

In many way I agree...perhaps we could start a similiar project here?
