ALTERED.IMAGE Artistic Challenge For the month of May, Altered.Image is hosting two separate contests to be run simultaneously. The first contest will be open to all 2D and 3D artists using whatever media they choose to create their final image. The theme for this contest will be, "Pain". Artists are expected to incorporate this theme into their submission and the interpretation of this theme is completely to the discretion of the artist (keep in mind these images are being judged however). This contest begins May 03, 2001 and the deadline for entry is 12:00am EST, June 1st, 2001. The winner(s) for this contest shall be announced on June 3rd, 2001. The second contest is closed to include only images made with 3D rendering programs. 2D editors may be used in the post work for this contest and 2D textures used but the over-all image should be constructed with a 3D editor. The theme for this contest is, "A Mothers Gift". Artists are expected to incorporate this theme into their submission and the interpretation of this theme is completely to the discretion of the artist (keep in mind these images are being judged however). This contest begins May 03, 2001 and the deadline for entry is 12:00am EST, June 3rd, 2001. The winner(s) for this contest shall be announced on June 6th, 2001.
