Contest goal:
Andrzej Dragan is a photographer who manipulates his portraits of people to create a “high definition” effect that can be quite startling. You can see his works here, under “Portfolio>Personal.” http://andrzejdragan.com/

78. Miss 30 years

Contest goal:
Recently there was the Young Again contest, so well… it’s obvious that now we do it the other way round! Pick a photo from a child (maximum 12 years old) and turn the kiddo into a grown up (minimum 21 years old).

You can create anything you like… for example, you can turn the face into an adult face by working only with photoshop tools… but you can also put a child’s head on a grownup body and add grownup characteristics to it. The important thing is that your photo should be convincing.
Good luck!

Contest goal:
Soon our free online magazine “the eye 3″ will be released. In case you missed the first 2 magazines, you can find them here.

This contest will be a photoshop contest which means you can enter photomanipulations, digital drawings but also think your own photos (as long you do some photomanipulation to it). You can see “the Masters” as someone like DaVinci (painting, drawing and more), Ansel Adams (photography) or nowadays masters in 3D and photoshop. It can also be someone who pushed borders, invented new techniques…
You can depict this person or be inspired on his or her work or show this person working, show the technique/invention… it’s up to you. Somehow you MUST include the PXL logo in your entry.

Your entry should be made in portrait with a minimal size of 2600 x 3400 pixels at 300 DPI (keep this ratio). This includes a bleed. You should be able to provide the 300 DPI version in .psd format when requested. Furthermore you MUST provide a good SBS which we can publish as a tutorial in this magazine.

Contest goal:
Soon our free online magazine “the eye 3″ will be released. In case you missed the first 2 magazines, you can find them here.

The next edition will be themed “The Masters” meaning we’ll have some articles and interviews surrounding this theme. This contest will be a photoshop contest which means you can enter photomanipulations, digital drawings but also think your own photos (as long you do some photomanipulation to it). You can see “the Masters” as someone like DaVinci (painting, drawing and more), Ansel Adams (photography) or nowadays masters in 3D and photoshop. It can also be someone who pushed borders, invented new techniques…
You can depict this person or be inspired on his or her work or show this person working, show the technique/invention… it’s up to you. Somehow you MUST include the PXL logo in your entry.

Your entry should be made in portrait with a minimal size of 2600 x 3400 pixels at 300 DPI (keep this ratio). This includes a bleed. You should be able to provide the 300 DPI version in .psd format when requested. Furthermore you MUST provide a good SBS which we can publish as a tutorial in this magazine.
Make sure to leave space in your entry to put the header.

6. Greenopolis

Contest goal:
In this special contest, you can upload any image manipulation that you created or want to create and that doesn’t fit in any of the other active Photoshop contest.

Obviously, this contest won’t be 100% anonymous, just don’t mention your name, or add any special signs on your image that reveal your name.

It can be anything you like, as long as it respects the Pxleyes rules & guidelines and you haven’t submitted it before on pxleyes.
A SBS is optional, but all sources must be mentioned to prove the authenticity of your work. If no external source is used an SBS is still required.

NEW! You can use any of the methods of Pxleyes Photoshop, Drawing and 3D Contests or even combinations of them to create your entry.
