Let's start the new year with some fun. I've come up with a little challenge for my new freebie. Maybe you'd like to take part? I would be delighted 
Briefly summarized:
Upload a picture using my freebie (see below) by March 31, 2025, make sure you link it as "Marketplace Item used" (then I'll get notifications) and let others decide on your picture through likes and rockets. Easy, eh?
What can you win?
1st place: 5 of my projects of your choice (*)
2nd place: 4 of my projects of your choice (*)
3rd place: 3 of my projects of your choice (*)
(*) from here or elsewhere
In detail
-------------
Rating
The rating is carried out by other Renderhub users by awarding likes and/or rockets. One rocket counts as 3 likes. I myself will also give likes (I love that
... but no rockets.
Final rating
I generally stay out of it - except when a place is occupied several times. Then I also record the "social skills" of the participants and decide on the basis of the likes given to others, badges, feedback and, if applicable, ratings for my freebie.
* Where's "elsewhere"?
The project contains a readme in which I have listed all the platforms with my projects. You can find the file in the "Documentation" folder or call it up within the installed project.
The subject of the picture
That is up to you, since - as I wrote above - I do not rate. Above all, the picture should please one person: yourself
Tracking
To let me know that you want to participate, please include the freebie as "Marketplace item used". Then I get a notification and can set bookmarks or something similar. I'll describe how to do this in a new post in this thread.
... and the winners are
The winners will be announced on April 01, 2025 (CET).
No ulterior motives for this action?
Of course it's also about promotion. I would be lying if I said otherwise. But first and foremost it's about having fun together.
-----------------------------
I hope I have made my rules and conditions as fair as possible. If you notice anything that could be improved, we can find a solution together here in this thread. Do you have any questions? You are welcome to contact me - either in this thread or via PM

Sat, Dec 28, 2024As many as you like - I'm quite relaxed about that 
And if a participant occupies two or even three places, only one is counted and the following participants move up. I think that's fair, don't you?
Thanks for the question

Yes, I think that's fair too!

I think, it would be also a good idea, to put a link into this thread, so people can check here and look for new challenge render.
Otherwise it could get lost between all new render in the gallery.
Or maybe make a thread for just the challenge render?

Sun, Dec 29, 2024Yep - I had already thought about that too 
At first I had thought about posting links here myself - but maybe one or the other doesn't want to do that ...
I think the solution that everyone can post their own links - preferably here in this thread - is the best. Then maybe the problem of this thread "going to sleep" is solved (or at least slightly mitigated).
Have a nice evening (just checked what time it is at your place

A playful person. Just for the sake of playing, because somewhere in our soul there is a childlike being hidden.

I think I was a bit too fair (or megalomaniac
with the time span.
It's difficult to keep my little challenge simmering for such a long time. I'll write something about it later today. But I have to work on something else at the moment ...

OK ... I currently have a larger image in the render machine and can't fiddle with DAZ at the moment - so here's a question for the participants and any interested parties:
I had planned my little challenge for a much longer period - but maybe that was a bit too crazy? weird? megalomaniac? stupid? ... or self-centered (I sometimes have trouble coming up with promos and sometimes need weeks to find the right kick)
Hence my question:
what do you guys think about turning this mega long challenge into a quickie and ending it on January 15th at 24:00 (CET)?

Sat, Jan 04Good idea. A long deadline slows down enthusiasm. Also, people forget because there is plenty of time. The initial momentum can bring better and more results.

Sat, Jan 04It's your challenge, I think it's normal to adapt the rules according to the public's reception, modify the duration, and modulate the prices according to the participants.

Rethinking the use of Choker. Please ignore the first image. There is too much emphasis on the environment and it distracts from Choker.
The main character is Choker, which should be in focus.
It was a good "game", thank you for accepting.

Tue, Jan 07Sorry Guy i had the wrong Marketplace item used.
I have now deleted it.
I have now deleted it.
Many thanks to all participants 
I liked all your pictures - some very original (I love that), sometimes with soul (I love that too) ... and all simply beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Many thanks also to all likers and rocket starters!
Honestly - I didn't expect so many people to give so many likes and rockets. Really great - and another example that the renderhub community is the most fantastic in the world. Many thanks to all of you
All participants will receive a PM from me via contact. As I'm a bit lazy at the moment, it will always be the same text - so don't be surprised if I write in English even if I could write in German.
And the winners?
Are informed
But if you want to count for yourself (1 rocket = 3 likes) here is the list of participants (sorted by date of receipt):

Congratulations to all the participants in the game!
It brings together a truly lovely community. Here you can feel that caring for each other is important. The point is not the competition, but the game. Life is full of challenges anyway.
I wish everyone all the best in life.
