"How to post a picture"
The following is a list of completed challenges to help everyone offer original challenge ideas. Challenges similar to past challenges are welcome, typically people may do that with a fresh twist. If you find any needed corrections, feel free to PM me.
LEGEND:
ALWAYS REFER TO THREAD FOR CURRENT CHALLENGE: This list is updated by hand when possible.
If you click the challenge number, it will directly open the post that contains/contained the accepted winning photo. Most of them work, but there are a handful in which the photo link in it has been disrupted. If you find your photo is missing, you can edit the original post to re-establish the photo link in it, and the link from this page will work too.
