Suggest a Contest

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Mechapixel. We take all contest suggestions into consideration.

Graffiti Contest Graffiti contests are focused on either photoshopping or photography, and use checkbox voting; only vote for entries you like. This is our more relaxed type of contest. Graffitis are geared towards photoshoppers and photographers of all skill levels; they are often more about fun and humor than competition. Photoshop Graffiti are either a theme, where an idea to shoot for is given, or a "Shop This Pic", where a specific picture is given to alter. Photography Graffiti are always theme contests.	Slag Contest Our "Slag" photoshop contests use a 1 to 10 scale for voting on entries. Slags are often considered to be more advanced than our Graffiti contests. Slags are open to everyone, are usually geared towards the intermediate and advanced photoshopper, and offer a nice method of getting feedback due to the voting scale and individual entry pages. Most Slags are theme contests (where an idea is given to shoot for), but sometimes we do STP ('Shop This Pic) contests as well.

Faceoff A Faceoff is a single photoshop match that is limited to two participants, or two groups of participants. It utilizes the 1 to 10 voting scale. These contests are set up exactly like Slags, but with just two entries. Participants can agree to do a theme or STP, but generally go for a theme. When setting up a Faceoff, you can either challenge another member directly, or leave it as an open challenge for anyone. If you don't know what kind of Faceoff you want to do, the best thing to do is start a new thread here, stating that you're looking for a match. Someone will likely take you up on it.	Volleybattle A Volleybattle is series of photoshop matches, limited to two participants. A 1 to 10 scale is used, as well as a few 1 to 5 scales based on specific criteria. These contests are a mix between Faceoffs and photoshop tennis. There are 2 entries per round; Volleybattles last for 3 or 5 rounds, and the entries are created over time (2 days per entry). When setting up a Volleybattle, you can either challenge another member directly, or leave it as an open challenge for any member to accept. If you're confused at this point, it would be best to check out previous battles, or speak up and ask for help in this forum.
