Inverted Celebrities pictures -
One of the tricks used by some photographers who wish to make surprising "portraits" of clients is to digitally manipulate the portraits by vertically inverting a mouth and eyes on the portrait, while the rest of the face stays intact. The result can be quite surprising - some people look almost the same while others are hardly recognizable - it also depends a great deal on the facial expression of the person on the original image. See an example we quickly created and compare with the original - Hillary Duff.
Photoshop celebrities or politicians by vertically inverting their mouth and eyes, similar to how it's done in this example. Let's see how celebrities change - will they still be recognizable? Don't forget to include celebrity (or politician) name in the title of your entry.

Teddy Bears pictures -
British teacher in Sudan was sentenced to 15 days in jail and deportation for teddy bear insult. Gillian Gibbons faced charges, after she allowed two of her her pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammed - the same name as the Muslim prophet. Mohammed is a popular male name in Sudan.
Photoshop teddy bears any way you like. Some examples are: teddy bears in real life, in paintings, teddy bears ruling the world, teddy bears behaving badly. Make sure entry shows a teddy bear instead of just any bear.
Rejected iPhone Designs pictures -
This Friday AT&T starts selling the long awaited iPhone.
Apple Inc. signed AT&T as the exclusive carrier for iPhone. While the revolutionary phone combines an iPod, a digital camera, and a cell-phone, this technology comes at a price of up to $600 for the device plus the two year AT&T contract with $60 - $100 monthly subscription fees.
Apple's iPhone - what's in the name? Show how an iPhone could look if it was designed by merging cell phone parts with fruits (or vegetables) as the company's name suggests - a mobile phone combined with an apple, or other rejected designs that obviously did not make it to the market. If you can, try to take it one step further and give your iPhone fruits and vegetables plastic or metal texture.

Snoop Arrested pictures -
[ Snoop Dogg was arrested in Stockholm, Sweden on suspicion of possessing and using illegal substances. The police found a stash of illegal substance merchandise in his car, while Snoop and a female passenger were under influence. ]
See how politically correct and unnecessarily long the news reports have become these days? In the 80s this news would be reported as: "Snoop and a hooker got high."
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything connected to Snoop arrested or any of his crimes in the past and future. Show Dogg living his life as a bad boy in photos, "wanted" posters, arrest records, magazines, and paintings, etc.
United States pictures - Show what the United States of America will look like in the future, if the USA Arab population grows at the same rate.
Wanted Posters pictures -
This past Sunday was the 105th birthday of John Dillinger - America's most famous bank robber. Dillinger was considered a dangerous criminal whom police could not catch for years, just like Bonnie and Clyde and Ma Barker. Despite his criminal actions, Dillinger was idolized by many as a modern-day Robin Hood. Trying to catch the notorious bank robber, police printed more "Wanted" posters for John Dillinger than for any other criminal in US history.
Take any celebrity, politician, or animal and make a "wanted" poster with it. Here's a good example.
Ted Koppel pictures - Another anchorman bids farewell to the nightly news airwaves. Although, this one makes it clear that this is not a retirement. What will Ted Koppel do now with this free time? What kind of trouble can his idle hands get into?
