August 2024 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge – OPEN
Theme: World Within A World!
This month’s challenge is a World Within A World! We’re hoping to see your vision for two (or more!) worlds included in the same image. Is it a portal to a new realm? A hidden microcosm? A grand galaxy of new possibilities? A gateway to a fae kingdom? What is the border or barrier between the two? Can you cross that threshold or not? The theme will be important in our judging for this one, so be sure it’s not just one world. We’ve provided a wide assortment of images, and can’t wait to see what you create!
