By popular demand, I've put together a Scavenger Hunt for our next Assignment. The Assignment will span the entire summer, including the months of June, July and August. I am including all of the items at once so that people will have plenty of time to find, shoot and post.
This Assignment is open to everyone, regardless of skill level, type of camera you use, or whether or not you're a Photography Board "regular". The whole purpose of the Assignments are to get out and use your camera, therefore all pictures used in this assignment should be NEW.
Rules for Scavenger Hunt - PLEASE READ:
1. Post as often as you wish.
2. Photo MUST have which scavenger item it is listed with it in order to receive points. Only one picture per item as I've listed them, please.
3. Categories are open to your interpretation, but please don't stray "too far" from the intended meaning.
4. Pictures must be new, ie taken no earlier than the time of this post, and date picture taken should be verifiable by EXIF data. Pictures that are not new cannot be counted toward points.
5. Points will be awarded as follows:
- One point for each item.
- Two points for each item with one asterisk.
- Three points for each item with two asterisks.
- You can only get one, two or three points for each item, i.e. they are not cumulative.
- If you post an item and then later get a picture of that same item that's worth higher points, you may replace the picture but you will only get the points for the higher item, not both.
6. The Winner will be the person who scores the highest points by the end of the Assignment. There will also be Second and Third place Winners for points scored. Winners will get a trophy for their signature - to be developed. (Bragging rights go to those who get pictures from every letter and every asterisk category.) Winners will be determined after midnight on September 1, 2010. Entrants will keep track of their own points but these points must be verifiable. Winners can expect to have points tallied carefully and should be able to provide EXIF data for all photos.
7. No cheating or arguing, please. It's all just for fun. If there is an issue, please PM me.
As an aside, there may be times that, by nature of the item, your picture will be difficult to take. Heck, you may barely get it
which is fine. Post it, by all means, to get those points. 
But since this *is* a Photography Board and part of the reason we're doing this is to improve our skills, let's try whenever possible to take *good* photos which we can all not only enjoy, but learn from.
If there are any interesting stories that go along with your getting you pictures, of course we DO want to hear them!
Editing is allowed, but not necessary.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

Can we only get one thing in each category, for example, can we only get one A or one of each theme in A? Understand?
It looks like fun. Now I just have to get up out of my Adirondack chair and get a picture of it.
