The ongoing photo contest focuses on capturing images of subjects that begin with the letter "Z," excluding proper names. Participants are required to submit digital photos resized to specific dimensions, with only one entry allowed per member. Editing beyond basic resizing is prohibited, and all photos must be original works. The contest encourages creativity, with discussions about potential subjects like zebras, zombies, and other "Z" words. Participants express challenges in finding suitable subjects and suggest rule modifications to enhance the fun. The contest concludes with a voting process to determine the best submission.
