Introduction

The Anti-Cliché Contest was an attempt to get the photomanip community to think outside the box – to free themselves of things that have been done in the same fashion over and over again and do something else, something different. And it was a big success as far as I can see

Thank you to everyone who participated and I hope that people don’t always need a contest before they try something new. Experimenting is part of being an artist (at least I like to think so) and only by trying new things will we find new ways of expressing ourselves.

A big thank you also goes to my fellow judges `nighty, $chix0r, ^cosmosue and =Cutteroz, who have been nudged and poked by me via notes time and again. Because judging was not an easy task here: we had a tied first place and could only decide for one entry after a run-off. It’s a good thing we were an uneven number of judges, I can tell you

So without further ado, the winners, of the Anti Cliché Contest are:
