Announcing a new Photo Competition. The theme is “Once in a Blue Moon”
Deadline February 28, 2008 You don’t need to have a blue moon in your entry. I am looking more at the phrase “Once in a Blue Moon”, meaning something that doesn’t happen very often (if ever). For example, pigs flying, snow in Los Angeles etc. This is wide open for your imagination.
Requirements: The entries must have been worked on in Photoshop only. No other editing or specialty programs are allowed. See the rules below.
The artwork must be brand new artwork. The purpose of this competition is to encourage people to go out and create something new and different in Photoshop.
Snowdog (winner of last years Blue Moon Photo Comp) and Deon de Waal have graciously volunteered to help me judge this contest. Thanks guys.
Prizes are:
1st: Red Bubble Gift certificate for $100.00 USD
2nd: Red Bubble Gift certificate for $ 50.00 USD
3rd: Red Bubble Gift certificate for $ 25.00 USD
I am working on some additional goodies for the winners (TBA)
2 Honorary awards will each receive a $10.00 Red Bubble Gift certificate (USD)
The rules must be strictly adhered to. Failure to do so will mean elimination from the contest.
1. One entry per person. More than one entry means disqualification.
2. Put “oncebluecomp” in your tag line. If you don’t have it in your tagline, you are not entered.
3. Artwork must be completed in 2008 (brand new artwork).
4. Photoshop only. No other editing or specialty program can be used. Photoshop plug-ins from different vendors are allowed.
5. If you use any stock photos in your artwork, you must give the photographer or stock photo company, credit.
6. Collaborations are allowed. I can split the gift certificates if need be.
7. You can change or alter your entry up until Feb. 28, 2008 as long as you stick to the 1 entry per person rule.

Is Photoshop Elements #3 allowed? And could i just draw a picture and then paint it in Photoshop Elements? I am a Draw/Paint-Artist, rather than a Photographer-Artist, but it would be fun to enter…

Hi all, you can start right away on your project. Any of the Photoshop programs will work for the entry. Sorry about the date everyone. I got up at 0430 this morning to do some work and typed the whole thing up when I was half asleep.
As long as you don’t compose an image in another program (such as Paint or Illustrator), you can pull in hand drawn images. You can also use any number of photographs.
