As a way to increase participation and encourage getting out exploring and taking photos - I have decided to bring back the NC Photo Scavenger Hunt (which we had in Flickr from 2009-2011).

I have a google docs list rules and scoring table:

Rules:
      
- All photos must be taken between March 7, 2022 and December 31, 2022      
- Points will be awarded for each photo - the same sign can be taken by different people each will get points      
- Photos posted to the following places will count for points: Facebook Groups: Southeast Roads, Tar Heel Roads.  AARoads Forum: 2022 North Carolina Highway Photo Scavenger Hunt      
- Photos of signs inside restaurants, museums will gain points      
- Google Streetview, Photos submitted but taken by another person, newspaper photos, photos of a photo will NOT earn points      
- Additional rules/categories can be added during the time of the scavenger hunt
