Photoshop artists with a flair for the satirical can now win awards for their humorous photo edits, or “chopz,” thanks to a newly-launched series of weekly and monthly themed design contests from the Photoshop community, PhotoChopz.com. The new contests aim to reward already active members and designers for their spoof, sarcastic, and humorous alterations to chosen monthly photos or themes where designers can choose their own photos.
“We already have over 18,000 threads with over 340,000 posts to date, and the forum only launched in May 2006,” says Josh Bond, owner of PhotoChopz.com. “Many of our founding members had a passion for funny spoof-style designs of user-submitted photos and pictures they found around the net. Now they can earn money for doing just that with our new contests. We have plenty of chopz already, but the contests are a way for us to give back to designers who are here doing what they love and sharing their skills.”
