Yesterday, the White House and key lawmakers reached a deal which will legalize millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, while securing the borders.
It may now be tougher to sneak into the US, but all who crossed the border will get an amnesty. So, one hard step over American border is now one easy step for an American citizenship.
In this contest you are asked to show how the flow of illegal immigration may change life in the United States. In other words show us how illegal immigrants would change the US if they ruled the country.
Pirates pictures -
The third sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean topped the Memorial Day weekend boxoffice, but it failed to outperform its last year's installment "Dead Man's Chest." This new movie features the same star crew - Depp with his captain skills, Orlando Bloom with the same smile, and Keira Knightley with still a man's chest.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop the third flick "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" any way you like. Feel free to change the cast crew, design a sequel, merge "Pirates 3" with another movie, or make a product advertisement based on the movie, etc.

Pixar's "Ratatouille"
opened as number 1 movie in America
this weekend with the estimated ticket receipts of $50 million.
Following this rat race is "Die Hard 4" flick with Bruce Willis which keeps
the second spot after opening last Wednesday. Michael Moore's
documentary "Sicko" opened in only 441 theaters on Friday, but did
exceptionally well in each theater, and holds the 9th place in gross
box office receipts.
Combine any of the following movies - "Ratatouille", "Die Hard", and
"Sicko" - in cross-placing characters, movie scenes, posters, or
merging in any other way. You can design the new movie titles or
keep the old ones. We will allow any of the "Die Hard" installments to
be used, however "Die Hard 4" is preferred. Merging all
the three films into one is allowed; or just take any two of them.
If Pirates Ruled pictures -
This Wednesday, September 19, is the "International Talk Like a Pirate Day." 'Celebrations' of this Day started 1995 by John Baur ("Ol' Chumbucket") and Mark Summers ("Cap'n Slappy"), of the United States, who declared that on this day everyone should talk like a true pirate. The parodic tradition caught on and turned into a yearly holiday, to the great joy of the pirate fans all over the world. So remember when you see your co-worker or a boss today, instead of usual "Hello" greet them with "Ahoy, me hearty!"
Photoshop how people and life would be different if pirates ruled the world. Think of pirate cars, animals, money, and of course pirate politicians and celebrities. Arrrrr, photoshop, mateys!
Corporate Logos in Food pictures - Corporate world is using more and more food types to establish brand recognition. In this contest you are asked to use any food types to bear famous company logos in one way or another - food shape, food paint job, etc.
Corporate Currency pictures -
Disney dollars are used as a local currency in the Disney parks, stores and resorts. They are redeemable for real cash (exchange ratio 1:1), or can be kept as souvenirs. Every year Disney company comes up with new designs for its currency, and such bills are collector items for notaphilists (paper money collectors).
Photoshop corporate currency from any company. How would Google dollar look like? Toyota dollar? AOL dollar, Lego dollar? You are welcome to use company products (or even logos) as the central part of your banknote, instead of the "presidents". You can design your entries as US dollars, euros, or any other currency.
Take a look at one good example.

Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe Separate pictures -
[ Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe announced their
separation after seven years of marriage and two children
together. Witherspoon initiated the separation and was quoted saying
that the move was not triggered by a single event but rather was
"cumulative". ]
So, basically Witherspoon is saying it took her seven years to
realize she's been married to an assh*le. Ryan Phillippe did not
comment on her statement, and asked to respect his privacy while his
#1 priority was doing #2. Obviously Witherspoon can't be blamed for
their marriage failure, as despite her busy filming career she
dedicated 7 years of her marriage to becoming a good housekeeper -
when they divorce, she keeps the house.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything related to the
Witherspoon - Phillippe split: real reasons they have separated,
creative ways how she could dump him, movies showing their separation,
etc.

Democrats win "Full House" pictures -
[ The 2006 election results are in. Democrats win control of the house.]
The Republicans have been to blame for everything from the economy to the war over the past 8 years by the Democrats. Well, now they have their chance to change all of this. I expect them to put an end to poverty, hunger, war, unemployment, global warming and high gas prices by January 1st. I have no reason not to believe this either. I mean, every 5 or 10 minutes for the past couple months I have been receiving recorded phone messages from the candidates promising these very things if I would only vote for them.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop magazine covers related to the election results. Create magazine covers showing possible cheating methods, dirty voting, or other election surprises and how America will change after these elections.
