I was looking for some funny photoshop'ed pics for my blog, can I start a contest and use the photos on my blog?
thanks
Do you mean that you want to set up a contest on PhotoshopContest.com and use the resulting entries in your blog or are you asking whether you can set up your own blog / website and give it most any function you want, including setting up a competing photo manipulation contest site?
SHORT ANSWER to either is "yes." Whatever country you're from, the Internet offers a lot of freedom.
HOWEVER, you may
not, steal (use without permission) photoshopped images or photos from this site or any other site. You must ask for and receive express permission from the artist, photographer, and site owner whether you may use any images you find here. Photoshopcontest.com's site owner is Procyon. Contact him for details and guidelines.
If you wind up being able to set up a contest here, either as a daily contest or a forum game, make sure you express VERY CLEARLY and UP FRONT what your intentions are for using the resulting images. Most users here do not take kindly to having their work published elsewhere without their permission, proper crediting to them, or even some compensation (payment).
Hope that helps.

Is my question that dumb?
Depends. You are a complete stranger on a well-established photo manipulation contest site and your question is a bit open to interpretation. If you are asking whether you may set up a contest here and get our permission to use the resulting images on your blog, that's not so dumb. If you are asking whether you may set up a competing site and take whatever images you want from here for your own use, well, yeah... that's pretty dumb. I'm betting it's the former scenario, though.
