encyclopedia dramatica
In Russia, people play a game where they reenact and photograph very specific scenarios and enter the photos in a contest for money and prizes. It's like a scavenger hunt, but instead of finding objects you have to dramatize outlandish photos.

From Encounter via Google Translate:

Required to make a few (5-10) staged shots by strictly defined criteria. In the job as described in detail what should be shown in the picture. Each task is reduced to an artificial creation of any extreme, unusual, very fun, or just beyond the propriety of the situation you want to fix the photo. The quality of the pictures are not taken into account, and in contrast to "PhotoHunt" is the most difficult to come up with "how" and "where" to make the frame, while the "WHAT" to be shown on the frame advance is clearly defined by the authors scenario.
