I have decided to issue a challenge to all of you photomanipulators

Here goes
Photomanipulatoin Challenge ContestThe TaskCreate a photo manipulation using the stock from only
one stock artist.
ObjectiveThere are many stock artists that have a diverse gallery and provide photo manipulators with a broad variety of great stock. Through this challenge, I would like to show their diverse talents.

one artist. This is a must! Deviations that do not meet this criteria will be rejected (

that sounds so mean)

3. You may enter up to 5 times.
DeadlineAll entries must be new (August 13th,2008 or later) and must be submitted by 11:59pm ET on October 13th, 2008. That's one and a half months so get manipulating!

B-SquaredStockJudges
Donations and Being a JudgeI would like to have a total of 5 judges for this contest. There are currently 3 judges so I need 2 more people
If you would like to donate a prize (no matter the size, journal features, sketches, prints, exclusive stock are all great

) please note me.
*Please note that if you donate a prize you are still eligible to enter the contest. Judges are not allowed to enter the competition though they can enter the non-competitive category if they would like to participate in the challenge.
Selecting the WinnersThe Judges will each choose their top three choices from each category (9 in total). The entries will then be given points for how the judges ranked them, 1 Point for 3rd, 2 points for 2nd and 3 points for 1st. The deviation with the most points will win the category. After the three winners are chosen, all of the remaining deviations from all of the three categories will be subjected to a public poll. The winner of the poll will be the public choice winner.
The judges will make their choices by taking into account the creativity, skill, effort and overall execution of the entries.
Here Are Some Great Diverse Stockers To Get You Started
Devious Comments
( ie, for an example there I used 4 differents textures from the same stocker, only the color make them recognizable [link])
What about using my own brushes, backgrounds, images , some fonts ?
I wish there was a random stock feature one DA.

If up is down and down is up, will up be down or down be up?

The categories are pretty much determined by how much of a handle you think that you have on the certain technique that you are using. if you are trying something new, then enter the beginner category, if you think you are pretty decent at what you are doing, enter intermediate and if you think you know exactly how to execute what you are doing, enter advanced.
The categories don't really have anything to do with how good a deviation looks. Somebody could have never drawn before but decided to and entered this contest in the beginner section even though they just so happen to be awesome at drawing. Likewise, a traditional artist could decide to enter a photomanipulation, having never done one before, have it come out looking amazing and still enter it in the beginner category since they are a beginner at photomanipulation.
Hopefully that helps
