Got an idea here and I'm not sure what the response would be to it. Since we already have quite a selection of competitions to choose from I'm not real sure how this will fly with all youz guyz.
What I'm thinking about is a full blown no holds barred PS competition where the object is to create ART. Not so much a theme based competiton, just an "idea" and go from there.
For example. One of the competitions may be something like take any car to a photo travel location and turn it into a "piece of art" that you might see a professional artist do. It could look like an airbrushing, a pencil sketch, an oil/water color painting, etc. Not inserting anything else, just using the photo taken in GT4. No set style. If an "artist" wants to submit an "airbrushing" and another a "water color" they would still be in the same poll. Just so it doesn't look much like a photo any more but a viewer can still tell that it's a car/scene from GT4.
Instead of a Top (insert number here) just have all the entries sent in to an anonymous poll (like the Rally Competitions) and have maybe ten or so competitions. After that have one final poll with all the winners to select the "Top Artist" or "Best Art". I know that creating entries for something like this would be time consuming so maybe make it so that the entry time is two weeks or so with the polls running for a week or so. Maybe also have a poll for what the "idea" for the next competition would be instead of a winner setting it.
Like I said before, I know we already have LOTS of competitions but outside of the Photomode/Photoshop competition there's not really a place for the "artist" to let loose with his/her artistic PS skills. And the Photomode/Photoshop competition does have it's limits by setting a theme for each competition. But, if this idea is too much like what the basis is for the Photomode/Photoshop competition then please let me know and disregard this post.
I'm not sure if anything like this has ever been mentioned or done before and not even sure if this is an idea worth going any further with or not. Just thought I'd mention it and see what the users here thought about it.
Note to a Moderator: If there is already something like this out there and I've totally missed it in my search, please remove this post.
