Photoshop geniuses: win a new MAC!!!
The Crestock Photoshop contest is upon us once more!!! What is the Crestock Photoshop contest, you ask? I’ll tell you that as soon as I tell you what Crestock is.
Crestock is an online repository of stock photography. The images housed there are all royalty free, so once you’ve bought one, you don’t have to pay anyone every time you use it. You can buy your images a la carte or get a subscription and have your way with the whole library.
No doubt in an effort to generate more sales, Crestock sponsors an annual contest for designers. Each week during the month of the contest, Crestock selects six images from their library and makes them available to anyone who wants to enter the contest. The contestants are then required to use at least one of the photos as the central part of an image. The image can be of anything, eventually. It just has to be cool, show skill and talent with Photoshop, and it helps if the thing is a little funny.
Designers only have one week to work on their image. They upload their entry and the entries are scored both by Crestock’s team of judges and we, the masses online. The first week’s winner receives an iPod Classic and iPod Nano. The winner of week 2 gets a 13″ white MacBook. Week 3 gives out a 15″ MacBook Pro. And the winner of week 4 gets the granddaddy of prizes: a Mac Pro with 2 (yes, two) 30″ Cinema Displays.
So you want to try your hand at winning the big prizes? Follow this link to read all about it:
