Here is the photo:

http://www.supercarfreak.net/car/photoshopcontests/1.jpg

I say your entry is due one week from today, then we'll make a poll which will last for another week, and the victor will be declared. One week from now well also make the second contest, and this can continue forever.


How about some Contest Rules:)


Here's some...

1. You cannot borrow/steal parts from an already chopped image.

2. Only ONE submission/entry per person. Once you posted your entry, you may not do any more changes to it.

3. No nudity or vulgarity.

4. You final entry should be posted no larger than 800x600px. A higher-res version can posted but only as a link.

5. Files must be in JPG format. No BMP, no GIFs TIFF files etc.

6. No cross-posting into other threads or advertising to get votes.

7. No Posting of Teaser Pics



How To Submit A Chop

Send your photoshopped image to Kevin/WTFCIRCUS at saosinca@yahoo.com . In the email include a brief description of what you did as well as your username and real name. Make sure the images do not exceed 800x800 pixels.



Have fun.

Sheesh, give a man 30 seconds :) I figure this will be a good pic for the first contest though, super high res, clean side shot, lots of people should give it a go.

For the first one it is fine, but for future chops may I suggest 3/4 view shots instead of side profiles? I'm not new to photoshop competitions and I have found that 3/4ths shots yield better results...just a suggestion though. ;)

I wanted to do any easy picture for the first competition, that way we would get more entries. I agree with future pictures being a 3/4 shot.

Yeah I think you got the right idea. The image should be simple enough to get people interested in joining and get more traffic here in this section. If we get enough entries for this one, then a 3/4 shot would be great.:)

I also posted some CONTEST RULES in the other sticky thread but here it is.

We can also create a Leader Board thread where it show's the winner of every contest, as well as a link to the other entries. Up to you guys on what sounds good.

05-24-2006, 11:52 PM
I like the size idea...but how about we make the width and height a maximum of 800...because if you have to crop to 800x600, that "can" take a lot of stuff out of a picture...

So, how about 800X800 maximum in either direction...:)

WTFCIRCUS
05-25-2006, 12:00 AM
Yea I was going to use Fit Image to get 800x800.

You don't have to crop it...just shrink the image. Everything is still intact, the image is just resized.

No...but he said it has to be 800x600...which does need to be cropped in some situations...(ie. all that are not 4/3)...

I'm just saying make it 800 either way...which ever one is larger to begin with...so 800x750 or 732x800 would be ok...see what I mean? ;)

That sounds fine. I just thought of having a limit to help the dial-up users when viewing the entries. 800px MAX either way works:)

haha.. I'm not sure what to do with the image. As "easy" as it seems, I'm not sure what else to do besides changing the wheels, lowering it and maybe change the color of the car. I'll try to think of somethin but if not, I'll just skip it and wait for the next contest- I got deadlines at work too so I don't have that much freetime.

I like the camo Z4 that wtfcircus did though, very creative.

I think it would be a lot easier to try a 3/4 angle as long as you are comfortable with transforming layers...just seems like there would be more depth to the image...

Some great chops so far. I would try and tweak it even more but i already spent more time than necessary on it. Pretty subtle but i think it turned out alright. (Ingredients: Lorinser SL55 side panel, MCrazy's Wheels, Random e36 widebody, GT500 front lip, a little smudge here a little blur there.)

No posting of teaser pics.

It would prevent a lot of accusations and drama. Once your done, send it to wtfcircus and he will post it when the contest is done.:)

Kevin, I'll email you mine tomorrow.


Have you guys thought about the details on VOTING.

Here are some basic Rules and Guidelines. Add to this if you guys think of more.
1. Voting is open to everyone.
2. Voting for yourself is not allowed, nor is the creation of new members to vote for yourself.
3. Vote for the entry, not the artist.
4. When you post your votes, please add some constructive comments. We all can learn from this I'm sure.


Do you guys wanna do a simple POLL and have everyone just vote through that? Or do you guys wanna try out a POINT SYSTEM.

This is how it works:

1. Everyone who wants to vote will pick and post their top 4 entries (they cannot vote for themselves). Then the 10 points will be distributed as follows..

1st place gets 4 points
2nd place gets 3 points
3rd place gets 2 points
4th place gets 1 point

Then at the end of the voting date, all the points will be added and everyone that entered will be ranked according to the highest points garnered.

We will have a separate thread that will show the Contest Leader Board.
In this thread, we will have 3 separte sections.

Contest #1 Leader- shows the rankings from the most recent contest.
Overall Points Leader - shows the rankings from TOTAL points garnered from all contest entered.
Average Points Leader - shows the ranking of AVERAGE points garnered for every contest entered. This last section helps those who did not/cannot join every contest.

Then at the end of the year, we'll tally all and have the BFC CHOP SHOP "Artist of the Year" awarded for both the Overall Points Leader and Average Point Leader:stickoutt

What do you guys think? If this is too complicated, the POLL is good too:)

why not make the entries anonymous except to the person who's organizing it. that way you won't have to worry about people voting for the artist to a certain degree.

I agree. Unfortunately, a contest like this has the potential to be a popularity contest real quick.

jonsibal's "Chop Shop Leaderboard" sounds like a cool idea.

Have some questions:
How long will voting last?
Who will choose the next image for the chopping block (winner of previous, appointed/random members?)?
How about sponsored chop sessions? Members could offer up some sort of gift certificate to the winner ($15 Applebees, etc.)?

I am excited to see what everyone else did. Good luck to guys.

addnon
05-30-2006, 11:42 AM
I strongly suggest that whoever organizes the next contest DOES NOT enter. This could lead to an unfair environment. For example, the organizer could choose a favorable car to work on, or one they have already been working on even before the contest (What if they had their chop done for months?). I trust Mr.X and highly doubt he would have done this, however I believe it is a precaution we must take for the next contest.

Also, I like the idea of anonymous entries. We all know Mr.X and Jon Sibal are gods, but we wouldn't want people just voting because of popular names.

Just my .02 cents

1. 5 days for voting I think will be good- no more than 7. What do you guys think?

2. In regards to who gets to organize the next contest, I say let's go with one person to always organize it but have them responsible to contact the moderators to be the one to choose the next image for the contest. This way, the layout of the contest will always be the same and the image will be dependent on what the moderators decisions.

3. In terms of prizes, I like the idea of sponsored sessions. I don't think it will conflict with the point system. We can even convince BFC to have a real prize for the BFC CHOPSHOP Artist of the year from some of the Board sponsors.

4. Lastly, regarding keeping the entries anonymous, I am for its idea of what it will prevent. The only problem I have with it is that it we don't have our copyrights on our own work. This is important the higher the quality of entries become. You don't want someone stealing your images and using it for commercial purposes without any form of compensation. This is why we need to have a copyright sign of some sort in all our entries as a form of security when it comes doen to legal stuff.... just my .02 cents here.

I do wish that there's a good solution to this but I can't think of any at the moment.

The451Kid
05-30-2006, 01:01 PM
^ Sounds like a plan to me.

In terms of copyright i can totally understand the dilemna. While it would be nice to maintain anonymity, I wouldnt want to see someones work be stolen or misused.

What about some sort of universal watermark for all entries? I dont know though, just a thought.

One other question:
How frequently are you guys going to have these contests? Once a month..?

I guess a Universal Watermark is better than none.

If everyone agrees on the universal watermark, we can possibly use something like this that will need to be affixed on every entry- either by the HOST (the person who receives all the entries) or the artist themselves.

http://jonsibal.com/BFCchopshop.jpg

We need to figure out who this HOST will be. They CANNOT enter the competition since they will see all the entries and might have a better chance against everyone. I'm thinking who ever wins 1st place gets to be the HOST for the next contest. This way, no one can be 1st place in two straight weeks. If they are not available, 2nd place will have to be the HOST but both the 1st and 2nd place cannot enter the contest they are hosting. What do you guys think of this.

The HOST's responsiblities are:

1. They will start the thread for the contest and also be responsible to contact a Moderator to CLOSE the thread after the deadline.
2. They will be the one to receive all the entries.
3. For the entries without the universal watermark, or they were not affixed properly, they are responsible to affix it to all entries that needs it.
4. They are responsible to start a Voting thread, which includes the Rules and Regulations of Voting, and have a moderator close it also.
5. Since they are NOT elligible to enter the contest that they are hosting, they can be responsible to choose the image for the contest.

What do you guys think of this ideas?

It will be easier to refer to this thread in case of questions or conflicts.

The universal watermark rule will need to be implemented on the next contest for those who already had emailed their entry. Unless you all want to resend all our entry to Kevin with the Universal watermark to make it anonymous now for VOTING.

what do you guys wanna do?

We shouldn't have everyone resend, I don't think its a big deal if we don't have it for this contest, but if Kevin wants to add it in himself, thats fine. I say its his call.

Thanks Kevin, I just resend you mine with the watermark as it would be hard to remove my signatures in the one that I had without ruining some areas of the car.:) Please email me back if you did not receive it.

Oh and if you want continue to receive the submissions for future contest, just know that you will not be eligible to enter the contest for fairness to everyone. I thought that the winner of the contest can be the host for the next one.. here is the link..
