The First PSDTUTS Contest Launches!

In News by Sean Hodge

We are launching the first contest here on PSDTUTS. We have some great submissions coming in regularly to the PSDTUTS Flickr Group. We'd like to honor some of these top submitters by showcasing their work on the PSDTUTS Web site and give a prize away to the entry that stands out from the crowd.

About the Contest

The theme this first month is Learning and Applying Your Knowledge. There is no limit on subject matter. We'll be looking at how you take techniques learned from any tutorial here on PSDTUTS and apply it in your own work.

Consider the stages of learning. Usually, you do the tutorial and apply the techniques on a similar image. You learn from it. Then you step back and think about how you can use these techniques to create a unique project. You work to personalize what you've learned. Then you create an awesome design.

Feel free to mention the inspirational tutorials on PSDTUTS, specific techniques you learned from them, and how you creatively applied these techniques in your Awesome Entries.

We have plans to to offer something similar to this contest every month. Depending on the success of this contest, we'll keep this going. So, let us know what you think!

How to Enter

All submissions to the PSDTUTS Flickr Group from now until the end of May are eligible. There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit.

If for any reason you do not want your submission to the PSDTUTS Flickr Group to be considered in this contest, that's fine. Leave a comment under your submission indicating so. Otherwise, we're assuming everyone would like to get showcased or be the lucky winner. We want this contest to enhance an already thriving community. This contest is only one facet of the Flickr Group. Someone may want to continue to use the group to get feedback on their work, for example. And that's great too.
