The players had 6 weeks to take a maximum amount of photos of Golfs in various situations to raise more than a hundred challenges. For every challenge, the parameters of the image were taken into account: the type of Golf, the model, the color of the vehicle, the geo-localization, the hour of the photo, the number of shares of the photo on social networks or even the altitude of the photo shoot.
