Music Cities Challenge – 50 Points each, limited to 84 submissions.

Nashville is known as “Music City USA.” It’s world famous as the home of musicians, iconic music venues and sites integral to the history and workings of the music industry. But The Demented Instigator knows there are many other cities and towns across North America that have a place in music history. For this challenge submit your photographic proof of visit to the musically significant Sites and Places listed in Appendix M.

The Hee Haw Challenge – 50 points each. Unlimited submissions.

The Demented Instigator has decided that it is time for you to chase some … donkey. The Donkey is a noble creature, the mascot for the Hee Haw TV Show that brought Nashville music into the mainstream as well as a workhorse for carrying equipment for settlers and prospectors before wagons were widely available and affordable. Submit your photographic proof of visit to Sites containing statues or murals of Donkeys/Burros. Horses will not be accepted, and the submitter will be publicly shamed. Only one donkey per location.

Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On Challenge – 50 points each. Unlimited submissions.

Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, is arguably the birthplace of rock and roll, country and rockabilly music. From its role in the career of Elvis Presley to recording the first rock-and-roll single (Jackie Brenston’s Rocket 88), Sun Studio and later Sun Records left an undeniable mark on the global music landscape. In honor of the accomplishments and history of Sam Phillips, the proprietor and founder of both Sun Studio and Sun Records, please submit photographic proof of visit to Places named or containing Phillips, Presley, Brenston, Parker, Perkins, Orbison, Feathers, Lewis, Justis, Twitty, Cash, King, Eaton, Turner, Roberts, Riley, Rhodes, Carroll, or Clement.

Starbucks and Friends Challenge – 50 points. Unlimited submissions.

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!!! The Demented Instigator loves his roasted bean brew, and he wants a picture of your motorcycle in front of a Starbucks! Your mission is to submit your photographic proof of visit to coffee shops. You can only claim one named Store per Place. For example, you live in a city that has 4 Starbucks, a Dunkin Donuts and a Tim Horton’s. You may claim 1 Starbucks, Tim Horton’s and the Dunkin Donuts. That’s all. In the next town, you may claim all three (if they’re there) but again only one of each per town. Standalone locations only, not inside another store or a mall. City and State are required for this challenge. Commercial businesses are allowed for this challenge. Submissions must clearly show the name and building of a coffee-focused business that serves coffee, not a business that happens to sell coffee (ex. McDonalds).

The Bored BBQ Challenge – 50 Points each. Unlimited submissions.

The Demented Instigator has really gotten into brisket. Some nights you can catch him tending to the fire while the smoke cures it. Time to go eat some BBQ. A BBQ restaurant specializes in BBQ that is made on-site. Provide photographic proof of visit to a BBQ restaurant. The name of the restaurant must be present in the submission and in the comments of the submission. You can only claim one named Store per Place. If BBQ is not in the name of the restaurant, a photo of the menu or URL for the restaurant must be in comments. For this challenge, commercial businesses are accepted. You can only claim one named BBQ Restaurant per Place.

Chase that Chicken Challenge – 50 points each. Unlimited submissions.

MMMMMmm, Chicken! Fried, broasted, broiled, BBQed, paprikashed, or curried. Submit your photographic proof of visit to Sites with chicken statues. They must be whole chicken (No parts like thighs or drumsticks) bigger than your saddle bag (larger than life) and not towable or part of any mobile fixture. One chicken statue per location please.

Loose Cannon Challenge – 50 points each. Unlimited submissions.

The Demented Instigator loves cannons and field artillery, so when a cannon became available to buy on his local marketplace, he jumped at the chance! For your submissions to score for this challenge, you must submit a photographic proof of visit to Sites containing single barrel towable or fixed cannon or artillery piece. Anything with more than one barrel, self-propelled or mounted on something self-propelled will be soundly rejected and the submitter mocked by the judges.
