It’s not very often that the winner announcements of the Photograph of the Month contest and a Contest Corner Challenge happen on the same day (ok, they were both supposed to be announced yesterday, but I spread it out a bit - it’s a lot of work!), but it’s even less common to have the same person win two Contest Corner Challenge contests in a row. In fact, the last time it happened was when Karen won both CCC#43 and CCC#44 about a year ago. This time, it’s tamara who won CCC#58, and has now won CCC#59. Read more »

Usually you get a little more of a heads up as far as voting goes for most of our contests, but well, let’s just say it’s been a busy week. If you’re active in the forums, you’ve probably already found the voting thread and cast your vote. If not, you have until 3pm EST (that’s 8pm GMT) to check out the entries and make your vote count. Read more »

It’s been over half a year, but it’s finally time for another Digital Darkroom Contest Corner Challenge. For those of you that either haven’t been around the Corner for that long, or have no idea what the heck a “digital darkroom” contest is, check out the past two Digital Darkroom CCC’s: Digital Darkroom #1 & Digital Darkroom #2. Read more »

With over 30 entries, CCC#47: Digital Darkroom #2 made for an interesting twist on our regular Contest Corner Challenges. Instead of taking a photograph, you got to “make” a photograph from at least 2 of 10 provided photographs (you have to be logged into the forums to see them), and what a wide array of entries we received! In the end, however, Tyger, with his photograph “Forgotten Railway,” came through as the winner, with over 21% of the votes. Read more »

Voting has begun for Contest Corner Challenge #47: Digital Darkroom #2! The contest was a “Photoshop” free-for-all, which allowed those who entered to use at least 2 of the posted photographs (you have to be logged in to see them) to create their own compilation photograph. Read more »

About a year ago we ran a “Photoshop” Contest Corner Challenge. It was a really popular one, and I promised we would do it again sometime. Sometime is here! Simetime is now!! Start your photo-editing programs!! Here’s your chance to show off some of your “photoshopping” abilities! There was a bit of a controversy last time we did a digital darkroom challenge, but I think in the end, everyone really enjoyed the change. You can read more about the discussion we had about it last time here. This contest (CCC#47: Digital Darkroom #2) gives us 10 photographs to choose from. You need to use at least 2 of the attached photographs to create your own “photograph” (you can see the 10 photographs here in the contest thread - note: you have to be logged into the forum to see the photos). Read more »

Better late than never, eh? In case you don’t always follow what’s going on in the forums, here’s the scoop with what happened with CCC#31 Digital Darkroom. Read more »

Voting has begun for Contest Corner Challenge #31: Digital Darkroom #1. As most of you know, this is a “photoshop challenge” that asked those who enter the contest to take at least 2 of the 6 photographs (images available in the contest thread) and “create” a new photograph from them. Read more »

I obviously have difficulties reading a calendar properly, as in several places I’ve mistakenly commented that CCC#31: Digital Darkroom #1 are due in by Monday, March 4th. Monday is actually the 5th. So, just to clarify, the entries are due by 11:59pm GMT, Monday, March 5th, 2007. Read more »
