Mashup at Lafango

Introducing Mashup Mondays, the monthly Photoshop contest putting your image magic skills to the test.

The premise is simple. We give you a topic or an idea combining two or more photos. Then, we match up your skills versus other artwork in the contest and let the public decide who’s is better. The winner then walks away with the money in the prize pool AND decides the subject matter for the following month’s contest.

To add a little incentive, the more people you invite into the contest, the higher the prize pool gets. So spread the word.

Eligibility: Worldwide

Prize : Upto $250

Entry Fee: None
