The Shift Art 10 Day Photoshop Challenge has ended!

Click here to view the results.

Are you ready to challenge yourself for ten days?

Starting December 13, there will be a new challenge every day for ten days. Each daily challenge will involve creating a piece of art inspired by a tutorial on Shift Art. Each challenge will have a random drawing for a cool prize!

Here is the basic process. Each day you’ll be challenged to create a piece of Photoshop art associated with an existing Shift Art tutorial. Each tutorial will allow you to download the assets for you to work with (images used in the piece). Once you have created something you are happy with, you simply upload the image to the member gallery, and then enter the drawing for that day.

The RAWexchange Image Storeis providing $1,067 in prizes!

Thanks to RAWexchange each challenge will have a $97 gift certificate for a randomly chosen entrant. There will also be an 11th bonus drawing for anyone who completes all 10 challenges.

Shift Art Shop has model stock, landscape stock, interior building stock, textures and much more! You must take a look!

The rules:

  • There will be one challenge every day, for 10 days. All 10 challenges are listed below.
  • Each member can enter each challenge only once.
  • Entries must be submitted on the same day as the challenge, before midnight U.S. PST (UTM -8).
  • To enter a challenge, you must 1. Submit your entry on the tutorial page associated with the challenge, and optionally, 2. post your image on social media using #shiftart10daychallenge

The process:

  • Each daily challenge will have a random drawing for a $100 RAWexchange gift certificate! All entries have an equal chance of winning!
  • Anyone who enters all 10 challenges will be entered into a bonus drawing for another $100 RAWexchange gift certificate. (or Shift Art Lifetime Membership if you are a Free Member).
  • The daily random drawing and announcement will be done in the morning following the challenge deadline.

What are the criteria for my challenge entries?

  • Images should be jpg’s with a minimum width of 1200px, and a maximum file size of 50mb.
  • Your entries should be based on the tutorial associated with the challenge, but you have plenty of artistic room in what you create. For example:
    • You can create a piece that directly follows the directions and ends up with a piece that is nearly identical to the tutorial image.
    • You can create a piece that loosely follows the directions, but switch up the subject, background or other elements.
    • Or, you can just create something that uses some techniques that you picked up in the tutorial that day.
  • Enjoy the process and have fun with it!

What if’s and can I’s:

Can I create a challenge entry after the challenge date? Yes, but you will not be entered into the prize drawing.

Can I create challenge entries in advance? Yes, but each challenge entry must be submitted on the day of the challenge to be entered in the prize drawing.

Can I create multiple entries for a challenge? Yes, but you will only be entered once in the prize drawing.

Do I have to be a member to participate? Yes, these challenges are for members only. Lifetime Members can choose to participate in any challenge. Members with limited access may participate in the challenges associated with tutorials in their account.
