*ManipulateThis rarely have contests, but we're having one now! For members only, but with over 800 members, there should be many, many, many entries for the "Spring Is Here!" contest! However, if you're not all ready a member, there is plenty of time to join and enter.

At *ManipulateThis we have bi-weekly challenges where we give you a choice of stock and allow you to use other stock, brushes, and textures to manipulate in a creative way. We usually have judges who "picks" the image that they feel are the best for the current theme from three levels: Beginning (deviants who are fairly new to photomanipulating), Intermediate (deviants who are creating successful manipulations, but feel they still have a lot to learn), and Advance (deviants who know their tools, how to use them with ease, and are consistantly successful).

The current challenge, "Spring Is Here!" features four sets of stock photos for the members to choose from.

Example stock:

The contest ends April 15th so there's still plenty of time to join and participate.

The prizes include (for the winner of each level unless otherwise stated):
A 3-month subscription
An additional 3-month subscription to Best Overall Deviation
Journal features
Personal stamps
Exclusive Desert Floral Stock Pack

The contest will be decided by member vote, but there's a set of judges who will do a "Picks Of The Week" as well (judges will be announced later). Winning deviants can also submit a deviation from their gallery to be featured at the club.

Visit the club for more information including how the club works and how to join. I hope you do want to join because it's more than just doing manips, it's also about learning and improving your own art.

Thanks for reading, and I do appreciate you faving this article and pimping our contest.
