Well, here it is folks... the final (officially sticky) Great Org Photoshop Challenge!

But we're gonna go out with a bang 4 sho! But 1st things 1st....

Sure 2 cause disent amongst the ranks, (but y'all shouldnt have been so sure of yourselves!!!) the winners of last months competetion are....

(cue drum roll and shouts of 'get on with it!')

FIRST PLACE:
Lleena - 4 her magnificent rendering of 'Everybody was Kung Fu Fiiiiighttttinnnn' Prince:



Cool idea brilliantly executed, looks seemless, and is funny as all hell. I can just imagine him taunting Chance: "C'mon big man, BRING IT!"

Well done u!

SECOND PLACE:
Evil White Male's White Girls 'homage':


Basically, because if I don't I think Im gonna get my knee caps broken.

Both of u should contact me with your snail mail-addresses.

HONOURARY MENTION:
Otan 4 his Millie Jackson ReduX album cover:



Thanx 2 all who participated - some great stuff.

Right.... down 2 business.... Here is the challenge this month...

Your mission (should u choose 2 accept it - yadda, yadda) consists of two seperate themes this month (or maybe u can be a real clever dick and combine them both - now THAT would be interesting....) they are as follows:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THIS MONTH:

THEME ONE:
Create a pastiche of a movie poster or famous movie scene. (some interesting examples last month included Larry and Prince on the Titanic, Shrek, Home Alone and Return of The King spoofs) It can be any film u wish. Just make it good huh?

THEME TWO:
CREATE A DESKTOP. There seems 2 have been a bit of a desktop frenzy this past couple of weeks on the Org, and some really nice ones are now available 2 download in the desktop section of the gallery. If u are entering it 4 the competition, please keep it exclusive 2 this site. Also, 4 various legal reasons, please do not place 'PRINCE.ORG' on any of the desktops.

This month u can use ANY photo u wish of Prince etc. But there is one rule...

THIS month u must ONLY use photos from the ORG gallery. Hopefully, those of u who havent yet visited it, or delved around will now do so! When u post your pic, please STATE the number of the image u used from the gallery 4 later refrencing (JUST state the number, u dont have 2 post the original image).

And as there were so many moans last month about the challenge not being inclusive - this month use whatever programs u wish.

However - BE WARNED: Only the BEST of the BEST will make it through...

No prize this month - just the shining purple kudos of your Org brethren!

GO 2 IT!

Got the best idea for a photoshop and don't have photoshop , plus I'm seriously computer illiterate....any suggestions on helping me put in my submission for this month. In fact, I'll give someone the idea and they can submit it and get the credit. I just want to see how it's going to turn out.

Ahhh, don't be that way.

While I agree that your pic was funnier and more original (fucking laughed my ass off!!), Lleena's was more "picture perfect".

I honestly thought yours would win just because it was so funny... but it is primarily a photo-shop contest, hence, emphasis should be on the production as well.

Now, I don't actually know the criteria, so don't quote me on my statements here... just my thoughts:

While yours is funny... it's not perfect... Prince's hairline does not line up just right with the head... as Michael's does. That's the only flaw, far as I can tell... (but hey, who am I to judge I can't even do a fucking paint shop!!, nor did I judge anything anyway).

Lleena's on the other hand, is truly a perfect job. You can't even tell where the image was entered onto the original...(at least, I can't) wonderful!

In any case, please continue, as your images really do crack me up...

(but I ain't gonna beg! )

I too had nothing to do/nor do not know the voting procedure, but yes I found your's (EWM) the funniest.

Please do another.

(ass well as, I can try to out-do you too!)
