Background: Click here for a SUMMARY of all the ways members of the public can participate in Red Dot Challenge, Season 1.

This post will give you some general guidance on following the Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 fantasy art collections using Facebook. "Finding Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 On Social Media Part II: Instagram" will provide similar guidance about following the players using Instagram.

In addition to the general guidance found in this post, a DETAILED breakdown of each element of public participation is available HERE.

On Facebook...

Like/Follow ROCHESTER ART COLLECTORS on Facebook. Doing so will help connect you to information, players, artists, venues, events and, of course, gameplay.

The official Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 fantasy art collections will be presented on Facebook in a series of twelve photo ALBUMS (one for each fantasy art collection). Each of the twelve ALBUMS will be assembled by one of the twelve players.

The newest additions to all the fantasy art collections appear on the ROCHESTER ART COLLECTORS main page on Facebook. The twelve fantasy art collections are grouped as ALBUMS. Each ALBUM contains one fantasy art collection.

To find the ALBUMS on Facebook go to ROCHESTER ART COLLECTORS > PHOTOS > ALBUMS.

Your mobile version of Facebook may be set up differently. If so, on Facebook search for ROCHESTER ART COLLECTORS and click on the PHOTOS link. The ALBUMS are typically presented above the individual PHOTOS. You may have to "swipe" to see all the ALBUMS.

Look for these images. They are the ALBUM covers.

Each album cover will tell you the fantasy art collection number and the budget allocation for that particular fantasy art collection. Click on the album cover to see the fantasy art collection. When you click on an album cover you should go to a page with more than one picture. One picture will be the album cover. You should also see a QR code with more information. (More on the QR code in a different post.)

Please remember, players will be posting works to their collections starting on November 1, 2024. Initially, you may not see many works of art in each album. Check back. Over time you'll begin to get a sense of each collection as it develops. More on this topic in a subsequent post here on RedDotChallenge.org.

Heads up! There's something we're not telling you.

We are NOT telling you which players are associated with which fantasy art collections.

"What's that, now," you ask?

Followers are being challenged to match the players with their collections. We're calling this CHALLENGE #2. Hint: following the players on Instagram will help.

In all there will be three "Challenges" for followers during Season 1. Here are the first two:

The third Challenge will be announced during gameplay. Gameplay begins on November 1, 2024 and ends of January 31, 2025.
