30 minutes Good idea. I'm in.

I just thought of a couple of things: first, since the contest is about PS ability, what if sometime before the contest started, a tiny thumbnail of the image was around? So you couldn't really work on it, but you could brainstorm...giving people time to get a good idea. Otherwise there'd be so much pressure to get an idea quickly, rather than work quickly. It might give people a chance to find outside source and whatnot, so I was thinking maybe it could also be a "source only" contest--one image, straight PS skills.

Just a thought. Yikes, I think I'm burning the turkey! Gotta go.

i told you it would never happen

"Source only" is impossible
Look at these guys here and their artwork.
How can you say if it's source only or not????

She meant in thirty minutes, I'll do PURE in thirty minutes, now THAT sounds like fun

Smashing!
Make it norway-time

On your marks!

Personally i like leif's 2 minute doodle contest in the chat area. He would just say....draw two panda fighting over a child...and we would have to doodle something really quick. His short goofy contests can be really funny. We had 6 contests in just a half an hour. I find this more enjoyable.
