Photomanipulation Tournament

Hello friends,watchers and passing by visitors.
'
Hope you are doing well and are up to participate in "THE TOURNAMENT"


In THE TOURNAMENT you will batlle during 3 rounds an opponent of equal size and strenght.
So if you are classified as beginner (The Novice), than you will battle with an other artist which is also a beginner.
You can not be eliminated during these battles, but only the winner will gain ExperiencePoints.



You also will be part of a team, which consists of a Knight , Wizard, Novice and possible an Archer ( if enough people will join this contest!!)
Archer = Level Expert
Knight= Level Advanced
Wizard= Level Intermediate
Novice= Level Beginner

Everybody can participate, but your work has to be a photomanipulation or Hybrid (Manipulation with painted elements in it)

During the 3 battles you will receive a challenge ( yeah you will be making a manipulation!!) which will have a theme.
Your opponent will have the same theme, no worries, all will be fair.
You can choose your own stocks from DA, Morguefile and Pixabay.
No mr Google or other black magic is allowed.

The winner of a batlle will receive 10 XP, so in total you could gain 30 XP.
In this tournament you will get 1 golden ticket. This ticket will give you the possibility to ignore the challenge-theme.
But if you win you will only gain 5 XP.
If you run from a batlle, you loose instantly!! No XP.

You are allowed to ask you other teammembers for advice how to approach your enemy. But you will must make your work alone.
If the Gamemasters (Judges) have doubt about the work, you could lose that batlle, but can continue.

At the end of the 3 battles, the team with the most XP will recieve The TournamentAward!!

There will be great prizes to win and i am willing to spend at least € 50,= on them, maybe in the form of points or Core-memberships (1 or 3 months)
If you want to donate a prize, some points or feature, i will be grateful for your generosity!!

To make "THE TOURNAMENT" to work, i need at least 9 awesome people to participate!! , and 1 or 2 other judges
The tournament will start on the first of Februari and you will be given 4 weeks each time to make your work. Think that will be

enough time to make some epic-looking work.

The reason i started this Contest, is to challenge you, my friends to go beyond the usual stuff, you make and a maybe learn some nice tricks!!
Also i want to make somesort of fist against the degradation of Manipulations here on DA. Have been thinking of starting a petition to ban the mindless (sorry for the word) Shit,
submitted!!, but what's the point, the DA-staff will not respond i guess.

Hope you will join "THE TOURNAMENT"

Leave a comment or note me if you want to participate. Also state you class!! (Knight, Wizard, Novice or Archer)
