Photomanip Challenges - Stock, Entries and Winne

Introduction

Thank you for participating in our Photomanip Challenges – they were once more a great event and we plan on holding more in the future. We don’t have a date, yet, but once we do, it will be announced at ManipulatedReality and of course also in the chat room #ManipulatedReality.

Now, for those of you who haven’t heard of this before, here are the rules of the game once more:

• For each challenge, 8 stock pictures are chosen and displayed in the topic of the room
• You have to use 2 of these 8 for a photomanipulation or digital mixed media* piece (in which photomanipulation is one of the media used); you can use other stock, too
• Each challenge last 2 hours
• At the end of these 2 hours, there are 15 minutes left to upload the image to deviantArt (scraps or gallery) and send a note to the founder or operator specified in the room’s topic
• Judging is done by the founders and operators of the room, winners are announced as soon as possible in the chat room

That’s it

_{* Mixed media in this case means digital mixed media: using two or more of the following art forms in one piece: photomanipulation, vector, painting, 3d, fractals. – please note, that for this contest, one of the media used has to be photomanipulation (meaning, the stock pictures have to be used for more than overpainting or reference).}

Now on to the challenges!
