yeh, someone takes a macro shot of something, and we guess :P, person who wins has to take their own shot.


Yep, thats the idea. Of course the mods would have to be told what it is so they can confirm that it is actually guessable (if thats a word?)

I think it would work out great, anyone else?

I'll be truthful, I did overlook that one for sure, but I agree, that would be fun. Local radio station do that stuff with audio clips all the time for comps. I'm all for it.

We will wait until next month or until at least some of the comps going on right now are done. We don't want to overflow the forum with comps.

You guys have to keep in mind copyright laws on images. So I think if this contest goes through, the mod can choose it, or at least someone who has access to stock images that have been PAYED FOR.

I have many CDs of payed stock images I can lend out to use for this competition if need be.


There are many sites that offer free stock images like www.sxc.hu

Or the ones that offer images for a very small fee like www.istockphoto.com

I like the idea of B&W to color.

Also how about Photoshop-Tennis where you place one image and the competitors have to add details in turns till they run out of ideas or the image is not improved anymore.

I have a competition suggestion.

I saw this on another site and thought this could be pretty fun. Basically the idea of the competition is we create a Digital Art graphic or photograph or a combination of them off to represent a word. The word is a word that is made up off the top of our heads.

So the title of the topic could be "soozondle" and you have to create something that represents what that word means to you.

Let me know what you all think.

Okay...

Because i have just finished work and i'm a bit tired i have just put together this couple minute job. This is a poor example of what i mean...based on my last example...

Image

It allows participants to use that part of the imagination that is a bit creative and it also can be quite experimental. I was quite pleased with the recent Digital Art competitions because some of the entries were really funny, so if you give a member that has a sense of humour the choice to make up a graphic made up of a fictional word then they are bound to come up with something good and interesting.

I think it would be good.

Not that I'd be able to compete, got a camera without a manual aperature, but having a HDR contest for serious photo maniacs? (looks like a few hehe)

The logo design is good idea, perhaps an open source project or something that would use the finished design?

How's about a seo contest where we choose keywords and see who can get the top postion in a specific search engine. Like google, msn, or yahoo. And at the end of the competition we see whoose site is the top most when the specific keywords are entered and that's the winner. Also prizes could include a link to a choosen site by them form this site's main page. Just a suggestion this is a popular contest among seo proffessionals.

Thank You

If you own the page that is the top mostin the said search engine. Say we choose google as the search engine and the topic is " supah forum " and at the end of the period your website is the one that's shown first when you enter those words in google you win.
