============================================================================
EDIT13jan2013: The cup contest ended yesterday. It was quite hard to decide (believe me
), but I made a decision for the final poll based on:
1. originality, concept
2. technique
Thank you all for your participation
These 10 entries made it to the final.
Vote for your favorite entry in a poll at my page here: [link]
There will be three prices for the three with the
most votes, you can find these prices in this journal. Just scroll down
Do not ask for votes or I have to disqualify your entry, just let my watchers vote
Good luck! If you have any questions concerning this contest, feel free to ask me here.
============================================================================
It took quite some time, but finally a new contest! I wanted as many deviants have a chance to participate in my challenge, so I won't do a photography contest.
The picture you have to use:
Rules, the do's & the don'ts!
1. Use the the cup picture above and edit it, click on download image for the full size.
2. You may use textures, ps actions, stocks, brushes, you name it!
3. You may draw on the cup (in photoshop)
4. You may
not crop the picture, but you are allowed to resize it (example 900x600) or make it a square format. Also do not cut it out and place it on an other background (because the positioning of the cup has to keep his original positioning in distance from the bottom and the distance to the top) < hope this does make sense
5. You may dublicate the original cup and paste it somewhere in the original cup picture.
^ Check out this example for a better explanation about these rules:6. Max one entry per person, you may make more, but at the end you can only enter with one.
7. Put in your artists desciption that it's your entry for this contest.

RULES 
The goal is 50.000 views. The first one who`ll send me the link to screenshot of my page with 50000 views (so i can see the proof) will recieve 100 points! 
Also there would be small prizes for those who would be second and third - 10 points each. So, let`s try it! 
If you get *close* to kiriban (like, 49999 or 50001) you may send me these screens as well, cause you might win if noone caught a screenshot of 50000
