Ok, here's an idea to change things up from the normal free for all contests...

How about every month or so I collect 10 (or however many you guys think would work) different outside source images and you use them for the day I choose? Everyone would be able to play/chop but ONLY using the PSC contest starting image AND AT LEAST 2 of the "approved" outside source images. The use of the (at least) 2 provided outside sources would have to be obvious. No liquifying one to death and smashing it in your final entry and no "there's two pixels from source 3 in the upper left corner" stuff.

The winner would be the one that "signs" up for this side contest and that gets the most votes for the contest chosen.

I would pick the contest date and provide outside sources at least 8 days in advance meaning no one would know the starting image for the chosen contest, not even me.

You wouldnt win anything but bragging rights and perhaps an "'Atta boy" from your fellow psc peers.

What do you think?

I'm in.

I'll give it a go

I'm in, too. Will you be able to provide "side source" as large as daily source?

aaaa.thatwas not just an idea, its actually happening...okay....sounds good

No Micose, you were right...its just an idea at this point. If enough people show some interest, I'll see what we can do. I know you laughed the first time cuz of the liquifying comment but it wasnt really directed at you or your style...although...it might make it a bit harder for you

Eve, I have no idea what quality the images will be. I wont stand for any griping about it either!

We'll all get the same sources, good, bad, ugly or not. I can only promise to do my best. I would probably ask everyone participating to provide some images from google, image stock sites or personal shots that would make up the "approved" outside sources.

I'll need more people that are willing to do this before I decide to search out some approved sources.

I'm in.

Idem

I'm in!

An idea of Showcase, a participation of Anfa : I'm in !
In fact, it's a sort of an imposed " all source(s) " : IMHO , that's choppin' !! ...

where do you want pictures sent to Showcase; here or IM them to you?
And sure I'm in.

I dunno...could this hurt my vpp?

Sounds good to me. Just make sure everyone knows somehow that it is all source day, Many people who don't check the news section didn't catch Micose day.

count me in
