Turn on those Amiga's and launch DeluxePaint! It's time for the Third Annual Amiga Art Contest! I have joined up with RetroRewind.ca , Amigakit.com and A-Eon to host a fun art contest using our Amiga's as the paint brush. Vicky, AKA Pixel Vixen will be joining me again to help judge the livestream in October.
The rules are simple:
The five categories are as follows:
1. Hand Drawn Artwork - Anything you create yourself in a paint package would meet this criteria. Anime, modern art, cartoons - if you can draw it, submit it! You drew it back in 1986? Fine! Submit it!
2. Digital Photography. Get those pictures into the Amiga! Digi-View, DCTV, load a .JPG image from your digital camera into AdPro or ImageFX - however you bring your digital images into the Amiga is OK by us. But then show us your creative side, don't just submit a picture, make it something beautiful and creative with the power of the Amiga!
3. Ray Tracing - Amiga was King of the Hill with Ray tracing for years. Dust off that old copy of Turbo Silver and show us what you can create! Animated 3D images are great, too.
4. MOD/Music files were quite popular on the Amiga. Show us your musical talent! Any kind of file is OK, as long as it was created on an Amiga. We would love to hear what you create.
5. Our new category this year is Animation on the Amiga. We had such wonderful programs such as Deluxepaint, Disney Animation Studio and many others used to create wonderful animations. 3D animated rendering would fall in this category too!
Any Amiga format is fine, from 2 color, to HAM6 and HAM8 all the way up to 24 bit from an RTG card! As long as your Amiga created it, you can submit it.
Please Email your artwork to me - art@amigaartwork.com - If you would rather upload it to a dropbox link that can be provided. IFF format is great, but any format you create should be OK. Please include the Hardware and Software you used in your creation, and include a description of how you did it if you want.
There will be First Place and second place winners in each category. First place winners will receive a Gift Certificate values at $50 for anything from the awesome retrorewind.ca store! They offer awesome hardware for both the Amiga and C64 line, as well as pre-packaged Recapping kits for all Amiga's! A total of four gift certificates are available. The fifth First Place prize is a copy of AmigaOS 3.2 on CD from our good friend Kevin Saunders AKA Invent71! Thanks!
Second Place winners will receive either a digital copy of ImageFX 4.5 or Personal Paint 7.3 from our wonderful friends at a-eon.com - They are heavily involved in the creation of the new A1222 AmigaOne board and with updates for Amiga OS 4.1, in addition to their support of these great new 68K software packages! Thanks A-Eon!
Our Best of Show winner is chosen from one of the five categories, and this will be judged on the overall awesomeness of their Amiga Created Art. This years prize will come in three parts! First, we have a great new 8MB & Flash ROM memory card, with a 40 Mhz 68882 & two clock port headers for the Amiga 1200 from our wonderful friends at Amigakit.com, Next we have a digital copy of ImageFX 4.5 to take advantage of that new FPU, followed up by a CD copy of AmigaOS 3.2 donated by 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast! Sweet!
The contest will go from June 1st until October 11, 2021.
Of course I will do an entire show showing off all of the artwork.
