I am so thrilled and so happy to announce that %CRPhotomanipulation (https://www.deviantart.com/crphotomanipulation)  will be hosting this contest! YAY!!!! :happybounce: :love: I would like to thank :icongejda: for everything. :heart: Note: As of right now, it looks like the contest will run from about the middle of October to either the end of November or the  middle of December. This must be a new work, created for this contest, so if you have one in the works that your unbridled muse is flying with, wait to submit it until the contest starts. We really need prizes and features for the winner. :heart: Please share what you are inspired to share down in the comments. :happybounce:

Recently with an influx of so many sites offering free stock images for manipulation artists it has become kinda difficult to prove the legitimacy of the images provided therein. And especially for new or amateur artists who aren't aware of the copyright issues or the legitimacy rights of those images, and so they tend to go for ones where stocks are being offered in png formats. Two such sites have come to my notice where most of the images are either stolen from other artists or taken from google or all over the internet. http://pngimg.com/ https://pngtree.com/ I recommend you to please refrain from using images from the above mentioned
