Jonah Hex Movie Mashup Contest

really love the Jonah Hex Movie Mashup Contest that they are running. Basically the challenge is to add the infamous Jonah Hex to any movie poster.

The contest is running just in time for the release of the Jonah Hex movie starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox on June 18th. Making the contest a little extra special is the fact that it is being judged by Jonah Hex writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.

The winner is going to get a signed copy of Jonah Hex: No Way Back by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, as well as 5 free Comics from Graphic.ly, and some other surprise signed goodies from Jimmy Palmiotti.

Check out this Flickr Group to see what has been submitted so far.

So what movie do you think could use a little Jonah Hex?]]

So we decided to have a Celebrity Face Swap Contest. We are so excited about this contest, we are going to be giving away an iPad to the person who creates the best celebrity swap!

As a token of appreciation for you, our loyal blog readers, we wanted to offer a little guidance. Check out this great Gender Bending Tutorial.

Those great tips and tricks will show you how to distort faces and change genders with ease. No visits to plastic surgeons necessary.

The New Yorker Contest

New Yorker & our sister site Worth1000 have joined forces and have created a Caption Contest 2.0 of sorts; Where you are given the pieces to make a cartoon, you decide which characters go where, add speech bubbles, a dash of wit, -- bam! you're in cartoon city.

You can make your entry in Photoshop, or using Aviary's Image Editor (Phoenix).

The cartoon with the most votes and an editor's pick will be featured on newyorker.com, and the creator will receive a copy of The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker, signed by the cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff. You will probably also become famous, leave your loved one for some young movie star, and forget where you came from. People will see you on T.V. and say, "Man, he used to be about the cartoons. Look at him now. Disgusting."

My personal favorites that were created so far include:

Aviary Sorapot Art Contest

Joey Roth has created a marvelous teapot called the Sorapot. It is truly a delight to behold, and Wired Magazine has even included it on their 2008 Holiday Wishlist.

When Joey contacted us about running a contest for the Sorapot we were honored. And while he's had many entries, he received even more requests from people who were unable to enter the contest because they did not have Photoshop on their computers.

Aviary is here to save the day! We are happy to assist the Sorapot Art Contest and provide Aviary software to all those entering to win a free Sorapot. We are also offering prizes to the runners up as well.

To enter:
Create an image inspired by Sorapot

You can get started with this image just by clicking Open in Phoenix

Your image can be a sketch, a painting, a photo collage, a rendering- anything that can be reproduced as a 1024 x 768 JPEG.

The only rule: your image must visually represent Sorapot in some way- the teapot doesn't have to be front and center, nor does it have to be photo-realistic, but it must be there.

International entries are welcome! Joey will ship the winner's Sorapot anywhere in the world, and make sure that it arrives before Christmas

Email your image to contest [at] sorapot.com by Sunday, December 14th.

Grand Prize: A signed, dated, and mirror-polished Sorapot delivered to your door, just in time for Christmas. ($250 Value)

Runner Up Prize: 4 winners will receive a 1-year pro subscription to Aviary. ($99 Value)

PLEASE NOTE: Runner Up Prize is only given to those participants who have entered images using the Aviary Software.]]
