November 2024 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge – OPEN
Theme: Rainbows!
This month’s challenge is all about rainbows. Whether you create something based on an actual rainbow in the sky, or just a spectrum of color, we want to see what you can come up with using a full display of hues! Make it bright, or hopeful, or wistful. How do you feel when you see a rainbow? Do you want to make something garish or sweet? We’ve given you everything from arcs in a waterfall to parrots to candy sprinkles to play with. Show us your colors!

Standard Challenge Rules:
These general rules apply to all Shift Art Challenges.
- The main subject must be one of the provided images.
- All entrants must be Shift Art members. Join for free here.
- Entries must be received by midnight on November 15, 2024 U.S. Pacific Time (UTC-8).
- You must use a minimum of three Pixabay images provided in the download packet.
- Previous challenge winners are welcome to participate in all challenges.
- Entries featuring violence, hate, pornography or any other content deemed inappropriate by the judged will be disqualified. The decision to disqualify an entry is entirely at the judges’ discretion and is not negotiable.
- You may use any of your own assets/images as long as they are under public domain, or if you have full commercial rights to them. This includes textures and overlays. See our article on finding images for ideas of where to find images.
- Entries using AI to generate the full image, or to create the majority of the assets used in the image, will not be considered for prizes. We want to see your skills and creativity as a Photoshop artist, not an AI’s.
- Only one entry per member, per challenge.
- Upload your entry image as a JPG with a width of 1200px on the longest side. Images with smaller dimensions will not be accepted. Maximum file size is 50Mb.
