Worth1000

Worth1000 opened on January 1, 2002 and hosts over 220,000 unique images made in theme contests. A subject title is given along with a sample photo and a brief description of what contestants should try to do. Entries are then accepted for a fixed period of time, after which they are posted so that people can vote on them, and the results are then compiled. Example of contests is:

Reality manga – Alter photos of real people (celebrities are popular) so that they look like Japanese anime drawings come to life.

Chimaera – Create a new animal by mating three or four other animals to one.

Invisible world – Take any object or person in an image and make it invisible using photoshop. No indication or outline of the object/animal/person should be seen, except through its function/interaction with other objects and/or people in the image.

If Goths ruled – Show what the world would look like if Goths ruled it.

Even if the Photoshop contests are the main attraction of Worth1000, it also has a vast variety of contests for photographing, text and a multimedia section, mostly consisting of illustration competitions. Except for the regular contests, members of Worth1000 challenges each other for head to head-competitions too.
