For those of us who are working on become Giant Squids one day, there are few new incentives to get those first 50 lenses published, polished and promoted. Being a Giant is about more than just having 50 lenses, and the standards get higher with each new batch. To qualify, your lenses have to be pretty good (if not great), and be “performing well.” Hopefully, they’re getting some traffic at the very least!
The first carrot-on-a-stick that the Squidteam is offering is the new Purple Star. We’ve been waiting for it for a long time, and Giant Squids are now seeing the benefits of this fun new recognition system. Lensmasters who want a purple star on their best and brightest need to first become Giant Squids, and then submit their lenses in the same fashion as the Lens of the Day.

Perhaps the most interesting motivation for the next Giant Squid casting call is the Giant Squid Challenge 2009. Some of our favorite lensmasters and greeters are gathering up this season’s hopefuls for a mad dash to Giant Squidom. It is also open to current Giants who are working towards Club 100.
Check out So You Want to Be a Giant Squid? To learn more about the teams. If you think you’re up to the challenge, applications will only be accepted until April 31st. After that, it’s time to start creating fabulous new lenses for your chosen team!
Good luck to everyone!
