CLOSED!
The contest is now officially closed to new entries, and the judging has began.
Stay tuned to find out what comes next!
Out of Your Comfort Zone
If you've been wondering why there's not going to be any new monthly challenges for the next two months, it's because we've been cooking up something big and new for you - a full-blown, dazzling and challenging contest with awesome prizes!
The theme is: Out of Your Comfort Zone!
Have you been stuck within the same, comfortable borders lately? Feeling uninspired, lacking in creativity, or maybe you have simply been thinking about trying something new and fresh, making a change in the style you usually use while working on your art, trying out a new and excitingly unknown subject?
Are all your works with models? Maybe it's time to try composing a landscape? If you've only done equine photomanips before, maybe you'd like to try a human model, or vice versa? If you're used to dark mood, maybe try creating something sugary sweet? The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to see what you'll come up with - remember that you'll be judged on whether your entry varies from the rest of your gallery!
And when it comes to judging, here's who will be taking care of this part of out contest:
- ErikShoemaker, who, by the way, came up with the theme
- Lora-Vysotskaya
- Rowye
- lauraypablo
- Gejda

The entry you submit has to be different from your usual works - be creative! All the entries need to be new and created specifically for this contest. Remember to include a short "Entry for the Out of Your Comfort Zone contest at CRPhotomanipulation" or something similar in your description, so that we know you didn't submit to the contest folder by mistake. All the stocks and resources you use have to be credited and come from legitimate sources. If you're using your own images, please state so in the description. If you don't know what we mean by legitimate stock, read this: Stock in a nutshell. All entries have to be submitted to the Contest - Out of Your Comfort Zone folder in our gallery.
