The Digi-Fun Contest Is HERE!!
Here is the Linky for the Digi-Fun Contest. Post the link to your blog post that showcases your entry, either a past post, or a new entry.
Here are the RULES….
Gettin Digi Wit It…the Rules…
Here’s what you’ve waited for…the 411…the deets…the down and dirty about the DIGI FUN contest.
Number 1 rule, be creative. Programs like “yearbookyourself” are fun and funny, but don’t count. A program as simple as “paint” and drawing a mustache on Pamela Anderson does. It’s the rules. It may not win for you, but it’s the rules. If you want to know if your program qualifies, ask me. I’ll wave the Short Pump wand and give you a ruling. I’ve given you a few free ideas, so get busy…
Number 2 rule, PG-13 rated. People will be voting and maybe people will ask their GRANDKIDS to vote. I’m just sayin’.
Number 3 rule, my kids can’t enter, so don’t even try. I know your work and you can’t fool Mother Short Pump. {I will tell you all that my daughter did an amazing Spice Girls photo with her friends faces photoshopped in, if that gives you any inspiration.}
Number 4 rule, post your picture in an entry on your blog and place the link in tomorrows Mr.Linky. If you don’t have a blog, then post it on flickr or something comparable and put the link in tomorrows Mr. Linky. Make sure you link back to Short Pump Preppy preferably with the contest button. This will be uber important come voting time.
Number 5 rule, email me your link, just to make sure we are double covered because I don’t want to miss out on anyone. I’m paranoid like that. Commenting on the post works. But emailing me at linneyshvede )at( gmail )dot( com is a good idea.
This is for FUN, so real live big time professionals are not completely discouraged, but are asked to think before they enter. Did I word that diplomatically?
If you don’t subscribe to Short Pump Preppy, you might want to click the shopping bags on the right…THE RIGHT…over there…so you can be updated with entries and deets and awesomeness about the contest.
Also friend me on http://profile.to/lindasellers/
and join the Digital Fun event.
If you want some of my lame ideas for inspiration, click the digital fun tab at the top.
You want to know what the prizes are…?
Look to the left…over there...I said the LEFT…
Clickfree has donated a 160gig portable hard drive.
Uniqueskins has donated (2) $25 gift certificates. Check out my post at REVIEWS about my laptop skin..
I know, now you really want to enter. So does my daughter…too bad….keep working on your ETSY site…
You can tweet the contest with hashtag #digifun .
You can begin submitting entries at midnight January 17th. All entries must be received by midnight January. 31.
Voting will begin on February 2 and end February 8 at 10 pm – ’cause that’s my bedtime.
The winner will be announced on FEB 9th.
If I get too many entries I’ll narrow it down, with the help of some guest judges who shall remain nameless for now for their own protection.
Oh, and you are definitely going to want to play Match Game Monday!!! …the Digi Fun Edition!!
Photo Digi-fun Contest Pre-Game – Are YOU Blogger Enough?
We all need to lighten up a little, right? Nothing but bills, snow, cold…I mean sheesh, I’m depressed enough.
You know what makes me happy, right? Photoshopping my head on some stupid thing and posting it here. Now I know I’m not the only one who does that. And I know you guys have what it takes to manipulate the whoozie out of some photos.
That’s why we are having a CONTEST! Yup, a CONTEST for PRIZES!
That’s ok, I’m going to help you out here. You can download a free program at www.gimp.org that does a lot of the same cutting, lassoing, moving around that I’ve done. I played with it for a few minutes and it’s not bad.
Photobucket has an edit area that gives you options for photo manipulation. Just upload your photo and in the edit section, you’ll see areas for decorate, distort…I can only imagine the possibilities. I think you can shave off 30 pounds easy peasy.
Paint is worth looking at as well. And if you know of any other free or affordable options, leave it in the comment sections…mkay?
Please add this button to your sidebar to let everyone know you are participating…
Starting January 17 you can start submitting your photos to me at linneyshvede (at) gmail (dot) com. And then voting begins on Feb 2.
Maybe you have a cool Warhol pic you did of your kids.
Maybe you have a super original digital scrapbook design.
Maybe you drew a sun and flower on a photo and it’s da-bomb.
Maybe you used the Pioneer Woman’s actions to turn a photo into a work of art.
Or maybe you are lame like me and put your head in the same frame as Sawyer.
It’s all good…more later about the contest and prizes..just get working on those photos! We’ll be featuring some of your work in upcoming posts…
SQUEEEEEE!!
