Contest Directions: 
Former Vice President Al Gore was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize this Friday, jointly with UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The Nobel Committee stated that Al Gore and the UN Panel made a major impact in increasing the awareness of the man-made climate change and laid the base for fighting it. After the controversial loss of the US presidential elections in 2000, Al Gore distanced himself from politics and became an avid environmentalist traveling around the world and promoting the use of green energy and awareness of global warming catastrophe. Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" about man-made climate change won two 2006 Academy Awards.
The recent Nobel Prize in peace already stirred the talks about Albert Gore joining the 2008 US presidential race. Even if Albert Gore does not run, he is likely to get a high post in the government in case Hillary Clinton takes the White House.
In the light of today's Nobel Peace Prize, photoshop Al Gore any way you wish. Some examples are: showing Al Gore's inventions previously thought to be made by others (e.g. inventing a wheel), Gore creating or saving the world, showing his future, fighting for world peace, receiving more awards and recognitions, immortalizing Al in paintings and magazine covers, etc.
