Weekly Bonus Challenge Rules
Each week by Friday evening come back to this page to find the Bonus Challenge for the coming week - Saturday to the following Sunday.
The Weekly Bonus Challenge photo will be right at the top of this page.
The Bonus Challenge is for a specific marker in the Central Massachusetts area and can only be earned within that specific window.
The windows intentionally overlap -- to give you two weekends to earn each bonus and to give you options each weekend.
Each Bonus Challenge will earn 5 points.
Bonus Challenge photos MUST BE SUBMITTED DURING EACH SPECIFIC BONUS WINDOW.
If you happen to get lucky and submit one of the Bonus Challenge markers prior to the week it appears you will still be awarded the 5 points once that week arrives.
