This was a major contest with lots of great prizes; the Grand Prize was a trip for two to Paris, France! The Best of Show winner is required to create a cover on-site for [2] Photoshop User magazine, but I don’t think that would be a deal-breaker for anyone. The other winners received a great package of prizes, including:

• Wacom Intuos Tablet
• Educational book bundle from Peachpit Press
• Spyder Screen Calibrator
• Adobe Photoshop CS2 software
• Two three-day Photoshop World Conference passes

The categories were almost identical to the categories in [3] the Guru Awards, also run by the [4] National Association of Photoshop Professionals. (BTW, I just saw the deadline for Guru Award entries was extended to Friday, February 17).

The Digital Canvas Awards’ winning entries are really worth checking out. I took a look at them last night and they are really something else. It seems a lot of contests end up with winning entries you take a look at and wonder, “Why in the heck did they pick this one?” But I’d be hard-pressed to say that about any of these.

Check it out!
