While the following pics did not finish in the first three, they all received a "star" (Jury's pick). I have many more but these are some of my favourites .
By popular demand (one anyway..) I shall post my winning "worth1000" entries.
One gold cup in the advanced photoshop category for the following competition :
"Remember when computer hackers were the big scare? Sure they might be 15-year-olds computer nerds who t41k 2 mUc4 l1k3 7h15!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [talk too much like this]. But that doesn't mean that, with a few deft keystrokes, they couldn't take over the world. And what would everyday life be like then? Get ready for some l337 h4xx0r1ng!!!!!!111 [elite hacker language].
The rules of this game are thus: In this contest you will show us images from a world run by l337 hax0rs. Your images should ideally focus on something that already has text on it. (i.e. a shampoo bottle with instructions written in html or the Coca-Cola logo written in poorly spelled gibberish)." One bronze medal in the beginner category for the following competition:
"Global warming. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's speculating about it. We can go one step further: Let's show what the world might look like after global warming has descended upon us.
Will we be inundated with floods? Or will the world dry up? Will skiers coat their skis with teflon so that they can ski snow-free mountains? Will sunbathers have to coat their skin with plaster of paris? You show us.
The rules are thus: Depict a future scene that's the result of global warming. Don't be afraid to get a little silly or outrageous. That's what we do!"
