Sand Castle Sunday 6/28/09
It's summer here the Northern Hemisphere. That means people are heading for their summer vacations at the beaches and other various places across the globe. And when I think of beaches, I think of sand and crabs. And sand castles. And beer. But more importantly, sand. So, let's create some images made of sand. Get your shovels in hand and have at it.

Freestyle Friday 6/26/09
Friday is the day that ends the long work week. Some businesses even have Casual Friday. We at Choppix.com believe in following this tradition so we made a contest supporting freedom from conformity. This is the contest to show off your artistic talents and creative ideas. The directions for this contest are to create an image using any theme you choose (invisibles, OOBs, etc.). Our only stipulation is that you don't show how creative you can be with nudity or porn.
6 images in this one.

World Money Wednesday 6/24/09
So, I was outside taking a long way in my town. I was walking near some train tracks. I remember back when I was a kid, I used to put pennies on the tracks to get 'em all smushed and whatnot. This time I not only had a penny, I had a Euro. I placed both on the tracks and you now see the results of that in the theme image. OK, I made all the crap up (except the kid part). Now make up some images of two currencies being combined into one.

Sports Saturday 6/20/09
The US Open is all underway. It is the second of the four major championships in golf and is on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. It is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday, which is Father's Day. That also means I can claim that I have to watch the US Open final on the couch all day. So, while I'm doing that, come up with images of golf mixed up with another sport. And Happy Father's Day, too!

We imagine you're wondering what this site is all about. We are a photoshop contest site dedicated to having fun with photo manipulation and hoax images. We have semi-daily (or is it bi-daily?) contests with standardized themes. Even though we have a standard set of themes, we have a different topic for each theme weekly. You don't have to worry about nudity, boobs or porn on this site either. We do not allow that sort of thing here. You can navigate the site using the tabs at the top and bottom of the pages. If you haven't registered yet, it is pain-free, so go ahead and register. If you have registered and are wondering what you can do next, here are some suggestions.

  1. Change the way the site looks. We have a few options to choose from. Go here to learn how to change the theme! Or simply sign up and you can change it on the fly.
  2. Check out the Forums. This is the main communication area for our members. Join in on the conversation.
  3. Check out the contests area. We've added some extra views to the images. Ended contests now have a slideshow feature and a Wowza feature and individual images can be turned into a puzzle. And check out this carousel of eight random images. The contests area is also the place to comment and score the images.
  4. Just explore the site and get to know it.
  5. Visit our chat room (Sign up for extremely easy access to it). We installed a web-based chat room available to registered members.
Top 42 Images in the Past 6 Weeks

Why 42 images? Ask Douglas Adams. While you're trying to figure out who he is, go here to view the top 42 rated images in the past 6 weeks on Choppix.com. Don't panic.

Viewing Member's Galleries

Every image you upload to a contest goes into your personal image gallery. When you view someone's gallery you can only see their images in ended contests. However, you are always able to see all of your own images. You can access every member's image gallery by using the link in the forums under their name or from their profile.

Contest Times, User IDs and Scoring
  1. All contests start and end automatically at their scheduled times. All Contests start at 6am and end at 6pm. You will have 4 days to submit followed by a 24 hour scoring period. All times are shown in the contest directions.
  2. Your user information is hidden in the contests until after the scoring has ended. Another feature of our contests is that nobody knows who has uploaded an image except the member who uploaded it. This includes all of the staff members. Blind justice. Authors who comment on their own entry will also have their identity protected during the contest times, too.
  3. Our scoring system is based on everyone having the same scoring power or no weighted scoring (one member, one vote). As you all know, we have a 1-10 rating scale and the scores are averaged as scores are posted. Choppix.com is all for the equality of all members, not just a chosen few.
Scoring Images

Scoring images is one of the most important things we can do as members of this contest site. It is also one of the hardest things to do. In order to help you understand scoring we have compiled a scoring guide for those of you that are unsure of your ability to score images. The Scoring Guide can be found here. Please take a little time out of your busy day to score the images in the contests. We have tried to make it as easy as possible for you. You can show your support for the site by taking part in this area.

Related Contest Information

Your stats are available on your profile page. It will keep track of your top 3 finishing images and featured images. You now can get to any contest, past or present from the calendar. Check it out. You should now receive an email when an image will be featured.We also send an email to the winners for ended contests.

Tie One On Thursday 7/02/09 Tie One On Thursday 7/02/09
A rope is a length of fibers, twisted or braided together to improve strength for pulling and connecting. It has tensile strength but is too flexible to provide compressive strength. Kinda makes me wonder how the term "tie on one" got started. In any case, create images that include rope in some way or form.

Over the Hill Tuesday 6/30/09 Over the Hill Tuesday 6/30/09
"Over the Hills and Far Away" is the third track from English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1973 album Houses of the Holy. That was such a long time ago. Led Zeppelin members must be like in their mid-60s or dead (Robert Plant). That to me is still young. So let's keep the old folks in a younger frame of mind. Show the elderly doing very physical, extreme activities. It's geriatrics on steroids!
