System and method for recommending challenges

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed, configures the one or more processors, to:
• identify one or more photos associated with a user account of an online community;
• identify one or more descriptors characterizing an image capture style and are associated with the identified photos;
• determine, based on the identified descriptors associated with the identified photos, one or more proposed descriptors to be proposed to a user corresponding to the user account of the online community, the one or more proposed descriptors being different from any of the identified descriptors associated with the user and the one or more proposed descriptors being associated with images of other users of the online community but not associated with the identified images of the user,
• generate a graphical user interface for outputting, to the user, a request for content that represents the determined proposed descriptors;
• notify the user via the graphical user interface of a result of an evaluation performed on one or more images received via the graphical user interface that were captured based on the request that determines if the one or more images are characterized by the proposed descriptors.
