Customers face Polonium-210 radioactivity tests after Russian spy poisoning picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 9 image entries
Contest Directions: 
Customers at a restaurant and a hotel visited by a poisoned ex-KGB officer will be tested for the radioactive substance that killed him, said UK health chiefs. Polonium-210 is a rare and highly toxic radioactive material, which can be obtained (or stolen) only from a sophisticated nuclear facility. There's no direct evidence the Kremlin was behind Alexander Litvinenko's poisoning, but in unwritten intelligence code "any spy who betrays and reveals intelligence secrets deserves to be eliminated". "Traitor" Litvinenko ruined years of Russian intelligence work when he fled to Britain in 2001 and published intelligence secrets in his book. Such actions gave him the same chances of being eliminated as playing Russian roulette. Six times in a row.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything connected to Litvinenko's poisoning and contamination of British restaurants & hotels with Polonium210.
Examples may include advertisements for "Kremlin diet", "ex-spy diet", new "Kremlin sushi" menu, or hotel "Kremlin suite" advertisements.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | Patrons of both a hotel and a restaurant that were visited by the ex-KGB officer that has been poisoned will not be tested for the same radioactive substance that led to his death -- which is me ultimately be called a murder by authorities in London. The Health Protection Agency in the U.K. is calling for people who have been either at the Itsu sushi restaurant or the Millennium Hotel, both in the central London, on November 1st to make themselves known to authorities. The Conservatives in the British government indicated that they likely will now seek a Commons statement by the government about the poisoning and death of the former agent. The Health Protection Agency is taking very seriously the concern that other people may have been contaminated by the Polonium-210 that resulted in the death of the former KGB agent, Alexander Litvinenko. Doctors at the hospital where Litvinenko died found a large amount of the substance in the former agent's system. Litvinenko has claimed in a statement that was released after his death that Vladimir Putin is responsible for murdering him. Patrons of either the hotel or the restaurant have been asked to contact directly the National Health Service. An autopsy on Litvinenko may be undertaken after a risk assessment is concluded to see if it is safe to perform such a procedure and after a determination is made about how to go about such a procedure in light of the contamination. |
