Third time is the charm they say and so i am hoping that the third collage contest will be a huge success. I decided to make some changes, first of all expand the contest duration to three weeks in order to give more time to creatives to make the artwork and prepare two weekly updates to spread the news. Also i am rising the prizes by adding 3 more honoured mentions and looking forward to see a lot of amazing entries.

Collage Medium.

Collage is an easy medium for artists or creatives to express themselves with simple tools or basic knowledge of Photoshop. This leaves a lot of room for the imagination and in my opinion this is the reason why collage is such an important medium. In a way you exercise your imagination to think of impossible combinations, to alter the real and make it surreal and dreamy. Cutting, arranging and pasting your favourite images together is a relaxing process and in time if you are persistent you can find you own style.

Contest Guidelines.

Same as the previous contest there will be no theme just use your imagination and try to create a composition of images that pleases you aesthetically or have a message to convey to the viewer. As source material you can use images that you own, magazine clippings or images you found on the Internet, as long as you are not violating in rules of copyrights. I would suggest this Library of free images as a good way to start your collage adventures.
