SoftwareNewsDaily is hosting an 2009 amateur Autumn Photoshop contest! The prize will be a $50 gift certificate to BestBuy.com. The contest is sponsored by SoftwareMedia.com.
The theme is Halloween. Submissions will be judged primarily on aesthetic sense, originality, and innovation, so anything remotely related to the tone of Halloween, such as harvest, autumn, or the sentiment of spooky, is acceptable. Straight-up Photoshop skill is important of course, but will not be the deciding factor.
Please e-mail or post any questions you may have.
Click here to see submission guidelines and details.
Guidelines and Details:
1. Submit photo to SND@softwaremedia.com. Image may be in any standard format. Enter 2009 Photoshop Contest into the subject field, followed by your initials.
2. Image can be edited with any photo editing software, Corel, Gimp, even Microsoft Paint if that’s what you’re into. We just mean the image must be “photoshopped,” (digitally edited) using Adobe’s trademark as a generic term in the way they so discourage.
3. Submission must be original work. Author retains all rights to work. Submission of photo grants SoftwareNewsDaily permission to display photo on SoftwareNewsDaily.com.
4. Remember, this is an amateur Photoshop contest. Although, if you are a graphic designer by profession, we would appreciate your input in judging the top submissions. All student submissions are welcome.
5. Before a winner is declared, the leading candidate will be asked to submit either the original photos from which photo was created, or the saved files of the work in progress (for example, in Photoshop, the .psd files.) This is just to verify the photo was edited by you.
6. The Top 3 submissions will be posted on SoftwareNewsDaily. The Final decision will be made by SoftwareMedia.com graphic design team.
7. Contest ends October 31. Leading submissions will be published on SoftwareNewsDaily.com the following week. Winner will be declared within one week.
8. The Winner will receive $50.00 gift certificate to BestBuy.
