I've not heard of anything like that but that doesn't mean there isn't. There may be a lot of things to take pictures of in the US but it's not the same. I lived in Italy for four years and travel throughout Europe. I intentionally hunted Castles. We just don't have stuff like that in the US.
I think that's an awesome idea. If I were organizing it, I would probably want to confine it to individual states or at the most regions of the country. I know that there would be folks who would insist that it be a national event, but I wouldn't be interested. To hit 24 national landmarks in one year in the US would take stacks of money and time that the majority of folks don't have. I love the idea for Ireland. Being roughly the same size as South Carolina (if my math is correct), the target landmarks would be close enough to hit in either a weekend or even a one day run if you were so inclined. In fact, it's somewhat similar to the NC Tag thread. Of course winning the Irish Photo Rally might not carry the same prestige as being the person who chooses the next Tag picture, but...
Fuzzy just posted something cool he was doing along these lines, the other day.
