Tribute to Luciano Pavarotti pictures -
The biggest tenor superstar and opera singer of the 20th century, Luciano Pavarotti, died Thursday morning in his residence at Modena, Italy. Pavarotti lost a long battle with pancreatic cancer. His passion for opera, charismatic persona, and powerful voice touched the hearts of many people. Pavarotti lived his life doing what he loved the most and
was often called the greatest tenor since Caruso.
In this contest let us pay tribute to Luciano Pavarotti any way you wish. Your entries have to either include Pavarotti in them or make a reference to him. Examples may be including him in paintings, showing him in heaven, etc. Luciano has to be "in good light" in the entries - it is a tribute contest and we are not looking for "bad humor" here.
Michael Schumacher Officially Retires pictures -
[
On Sunday, Formula One racing legend Michael Schumacher, had the final race in his career and has officially
retired. Weeks ago Schumacher announced that he will retire afer
this Formula One season, and this Sunday he waved the official
good-bye to the 12 million German spectators and many more Formula One
fans, after finishing fourth at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Schumacher
is a seven-times world champion, is the world's first billionaire
athlete, and his retirement income will be over $20 million per year,
mostly from signed advertising contracts.
]
Schumacher has been living his life in the fast lane. Now that he's
retired (at the age of 37), will he just slow down, turn to the first
gear, and slowly turn into a couch potato? Money can't buy him happiness,
but I'm sure he'll be more comfortable crying in his multi-million
dollar estate. Boredom didn't kill Bill Gates, and it has no plans of
killing Michael Schumacher either. And with all these advertising contracts, he can still make ends meet during his retirement.
In this contest you are asked to age Michael Schumacher. In addition, you can show how aged Schumacher will spend his older days - e.g. what
advertisements he will appear in, and what products he will endorse.
Artificial Sun? pictures - OK, we all know the moon is made of cheese, but what is an artificial sun made of? Imagine that the "natural sun" went on vacation, and you need to save the world by constructing an artificial sun. Will you use any of the household items / products / materials of huge sizes to be the new sun, or any new technology? You are the creator today. Your entries can show the sun as seen from space or from earth. You are welcome to include surroundings (e.g, beach or city view) in your entries if you show snapshots "from earth".
Musicians pictures - What if the trend continues and musicians enter into musical styles not normally associated with them? What if Springsteen did Bach? What if the Dixie Chicks did Rap? Create images or CD covers showing musicians (or should we formally say music artists) "crossing over" from their usual musical style into a new format.
Dressed Politicians pictures - Your mission is to pick world leaders (political only, no celebrities) and dress them up in "unusual", "interesting" or "unconventional" ways that might get the attention of the media if they were actually dressed the outfit you've selected for them.
Racial Profiling pictures - This is a themed contest. Do NOT edit the theme post. Changing faces and skin tones are a common obstacle faced when doing many complex photoshops. In this contest, we want to flex those muscles by having you cahnge someone's race. An example would be to make George Bush an African American or Britney Spears a Japanese girl. Try to keep the person you change recognizable.
You will have 3 days to submit your entry. Submitting it early will give you plenty of time to read the critique comments, and edit your image accordingly. Typical FreakingNews entry guidelines also apply. You can find them here.
Choose the image of your choice and make any person in it a different race as in the theme post.
Thanks to Keb for sponsoring this contest and to kibuyu for supplying the theme image.
