I had a lot of different ideas for this one (one of which requires a bit more forward planning *evil chuckle*) and several of them merged into one. The blanket theme for this contest is everything Fortean and bizarro-tabloid. I want sightings of Elvis in supermarkets, UFOs over Disneyland, the face of Christ in a burnt tortilla, the shapes of teletubbies in the smoke of the WTC, sasquatches by the herd, and skies full of mothmen...

This time I will be giving extra credit if you can make your entry look like an amateur photo. Make it a bit fuzzy, a bit motion-blurred, whatever. If it is the kind of thing that Fortean Times Magazine would feature as a cover image, I want to see it.

This is a kinda vague topic, originals may be hard to find, and I want to encourage carefully-contructed entries, so I won't be judging this one until midnight on Saturday night, my time, which is about 10am Saturday, SC.com time.

Disclaimer: If your photoshopping skills aren't the best or you are photoshopping in a hurry, you could still win if you present a really good gag - this contest is never judged on pic-editing skills alone.

To kick it off...

Face of Jesus appears in Mexican girl's acne!

I just want to know if anyone has found anyplace that still has Waldo the Tourist pics. The original site I found them on took them down and has web.archive blocked, the punks.

While looking for that most infamous of tourists, I found this amazing picture:

Note the gap and bend in the fence - this pic was taken from a bit further back and a bit from to the left, but it is almost the same backdrop. The blueness of it sucks a bit, but still, it's photoshopping gold...

This is probably the second photoshopping I have ever done in my life, so please don't poke fun or cast stones at me. I did it in MS-paint.

Well, time to judge...

Toughie...

It is a three-way contest, I think, between Big Evil Dan's bagel-on-Jesus, JrnymnNate's face-on-Mars, and the_rew's Tobor-in-ectoplasm...

Tough choice... I know, I'll ask my Magic Eight-Ball.

Oh great eight-ball, who should win?

*shake shake shake*

Yes or no questions only, dickhead.

Bah, surly piece of crap.

I think the_rew should win, for:

the_rew is taking his time...

A few more hours, then it forfeits to a runner-up.

Hang on there, I only just found out that I've won! It was tough work you know, not actually owning a copy of Photoshop, and having to make do with Paint and Paintshop Pro.

As for the next competition, well I'm working on it, as well as my entry for the relay...

Wow, a contest goes by without ever being able to see the winning entry, because of that bandwidth limit...
