Snow Mania picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 13 image entries
Contest Directions:  [ Canada's Niagara region & US western New York have been hit by a heavy snow-storm this week, cutting off electricity, and setting off a state of emergency in snow covered areas. ]
If I learned something when I was a kid, it's that if you get lots of snow you can make a really cool snowman. And if you get a little bit more snow, you can turn your snowman into a nicely endowed snowwoman. Then you can turn your snowwoman into a snowman with huge snow balls. If you are a boy, you can also "write" your name in the snow. On the other hand, a heavy night snowstorm is God saying: "Take today off." So, lots of snow is a win-win situation for kids and for parents alike. Thus I don't get it why New Yorkers scream "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...Someplace else!!!"
In this contest you are asked to make things, people and animals from snow. We are not talking just about snow statues, we are talking about any indoor or outdoor objects - e.g., laptops made from snow, snow-made food, cars, weapons, etc. Clarification: snow is not the same as ice - keep that in mind when making your entries.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | In the aftermath of what has been described as a freak snowstorm, hundreds of thousands of people remain without electrical power. Residents in Ontario's Niagara region and throughout western New York state were amongst those effected by the powerful storm. A state of emergency had been declared in some areas. Power was out in a hospital for a period of time, but it had been restored to part of the facility by press time. The snowstorm is described as record breaking. Because the snow landed on trees that still bore leaves, there had been a great deal of damage in Niagara area. Some officials described the snowstorm and its aftermath a crisis. Sanitary systems are also under stress as a result of the snowstorm. One man was reported to be badly injured when a flash fire ignited when he tried to refill his generator. A total of over 340,000 homes remained without power on Saturday night. Some residents have described the scene as looking like an apocalypse. |
