September 2026 Photoshop Challenge Results!

The theme for this challenge was: The Forgotten Fairground.

This month we challenged you to imagine stumbling upon a forgotten fairground. We asked you to imagine what it look like: would it be magical, mysterious, nostalgic, sinister or surreal? We received some fantastic enteries!

Congratulations to our winner Prue Wright with her inspiring image “Now Where?”. And congrats to our runner up, Mary Miller with “Left Behind”.

Also, special thanks to all the creative and talented artists who make this challenge a success every single month!
