Animals with Masks pictures -
In nature, animals camouflage plays a vital role in chances of survival and thus in chances of reproduction. Some species have camouflage that blends them with the environment, making it hard for predators to distinguish an animal. Other animals don't hide at all, but scare predators off by disguising themselves as something dangerous, or even as other species - with their color patterns and sounds.
Let's take animal camouflage to another level by photoshopping animals with masks of other animals.
Here's a good example. All type of animals are allowed except humans.
Gas Masks pictures -
The history of the gas mask spans for two centuries. Since then, the gas mask design has gone through many changes and gas masks have been used in military as well as civil cases when working with toxic, smoky, or dusty environments.
Gas mask costumes are very popular on Halloween too.
Photoshop gas masks any way you wish. Some examples are: design special versions of gas masks (e.g. glamor gas masks for female celebrities, gas masks for rockers, for hockey players, etc.), put gas masks on celebrities and politicians or animals, include gas masks in movies and paintings, etc.
Christmas Greetings pictures -
Christmas is just around the corner and sales of Christmas greeting cards are booming across America and in most countries. While it's nice to buy the cards with cleverly designed messages, vast majority of Americans prefer to write their own message on a card, or at least add one to it.
Let's think what Christmas greeting cards famous people (celebrities or politicians) may send or receive this Christmas. For instance, consider what one celebrity would write on a card to another celebrity or politician; or what Christmas greeting card politicians or celebrities may send to or receive from an average American. You can even think of what Christmas cards cards Santa himself may send to famous people this season. Who's been naughty and who's been nice?
You are welcome to design a card (graphics or photos) to match the message. Merry Christmas!
Christmas Movies pictures -
All we want for Christmas are some quality holiday movies, say movie critics. According to the recent reviews, there will hardly be any brilliant movies on the Hollywood sky this Christmas. Nothing will come close to the boxoffice success of movies like "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings" of the last years. The upcoming sequels of "National Treasure" and "Aliens vs. Predator" this Christmas are not considered to become huge boxoffice hits.
Photoshop any movies to give them a Christmas theme. E.g. dress up movie stars in Christmas costumes, add snow and Christmas tree, make Christmas sequels of the known movies. See what creative movie titles you can come up with.

Christmas Art pictures -
This year's Christmas Tree at the White House will be decorated with ornaments that feature America's national parks - the theme chosen by the first lady Laura Bush. The artists to draw these ornaments were chosen from a nation-wide contest which attracted over 347 artists who sent their ornament designs.
Photoshop Christmas Art by giving a Christmas theme to old paintings, drawings, or statues. Dress up the characters in paintings (statues, drawings) as Santa or elves, add candy canes, Christmas tree and socks to the paintings, add snow - these are just some ideas.
12 Days of Christmas pictures -
When it comes to Christmas songs, "12 Days of Christmas" remains to be one of the most popular ones, along with "Winter Wonderland", "Let it Snow," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and "Jingle Bells." Since the original "12 Days of Christmas", many spoofs of this song were written, e.g. "Modern 12 Days of Christmas."
Photoshop 12 Days of Christmas theme any way you like.
Some examples are: changing the song and photoshopping one of the days (e.g. "On the third day of Christmas, Bush sent to me... three tax breaks, World War III, and Osama hanged on a Pear Tree"), or illustrating one of the days from the original song. NOTE: your entry does not have to include all the "gifts" from one day, but must show at least one of them (in the above example it's enough to show Osama hanged on a Pear Tree). You can include the text Lyrics you are illustrating directly in the entry (as a text), or simply include it in the author's comments.
Bird Mask pictures - Photoshop this bird mask image (CLICK HERE to download) any way you wish. Examples may include changing the bird mask design, merging the bird mask with some other object or animal, including the bird mask in paintings. These are just some ideas.

Bad Christmas Gifts pictures -
Bad Christmas gifts are something we all have received at one time or another. Maybe it was a pair of hand knitted socks from your Aunt Gladys or a battery powered lock de-icer from your 31 year old son. Whatever it was, we all remember them. I ask you, who was the first person thinking that putting candy into socks makes a great gift? My grandpa's socks are officially classified as weapons of mass destruction. Does eating candy out of weapons make much sense?
In this contest you are asked to create bad Christmas gifts any way you like. E.g. electric powered rubber ducky bath toy or junior lasik surgery kit, etc. The sky is the limit as long as it's within the site guidelines.

Seven astronauts on board of the space shuttle Discovery are coming home for Christmas, while the International Space Station currently houses two men and a woman who will spend all of Christmas in space.
Christmas in space is weird. You are stuck in a closed space with electronics, no Santa, no Christmas tree, and no gravity. In other words, the perfect geek Christmas.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop Christmas in space any way you like. E.g. dress up astronauts, decorate shuttle & International Space Station, put the Christmas tree on the moon, etc.
