[Man1c M0g]

*** This competition is now finished! ***

Ok guys, time for a word association contest! If enough entries are submitted for each and every contest along this theme, an official BioRUST calendar will be made of the winning entries, and a percentage of the profits given back to the original authors. Here are the guidelines:

Do your work in a psd(make sure you save the psd.)
DPI: 300 (NOT 72dpi, which is the PS default).
Size: 2400px by 3000px
Color Mode: RGB Color
Layout: Landscape

When submitting your entry to the gallery, make it a .gif or .jpg at a resolution of 1200x1500 or lower - nothing to massive! Winners will be asked to send their full-size version later.

This competetion will end on August 1st. So time is the essence of something, or other? (you should probably hurry!)

All images must be submitted to http://forums.biorust.com/photopost/...ry.php?cat=524 to qualify. Have fun and the best of luck to you all!

Here is this Months Theme/Word: Entropy. Its a pretty unique word, so I look forward to seeing what ideas you can bring to life.

UPDATE: Deadline extended to 1st August due to server issues.

Hmmm...interesting. And, to save people the trouble of having to go look it up, to see what it means, here's what Answers.com defines it as:

en·tro·py (ĕn'trə-pē)
n., pl. -pies.

1. (Symbol S) For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
2. A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.
3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.
4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.
5. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.

[German Entropie : Greek en-, in; see en–2 + Greek tropē, transformation.]

could be a change of something into another form, like liquid to gas, water to rock, like monster to human...etc., etc.,...

That's exactly what dictionary.com said aswell... I wonder which one came up with it first...
It's kinda like cheat sites(cheat codes and hints for games... if you didn't already know)... you go to one and it doesn't have what you were looking for... so you go to another one... and it has the exact same descriptions. And you don't know what site posted the cheats first.

P.S. Sorry for going so off-topic. It's a bad habit of mine to post about stuff that's kind of related/similar to what someone said.

hello, guys...to grab an artist's understanding of entropy go to wikipedia.org......

[my4monkeys]

Thats something to wrap your mind around. I'll never get settled into 1 idea.

Wow, that is a tricky one for an image. Probably take me until July 1 just to think of it, and then I'd be to late!

Hmm... I might try on this one... it's weird enough to catch my attention.
(Manic, do we have to submit the full 3200*2400, or just a smaller version to the galleries?)

Just a smaller version please! I'll ask for the bigger version if you are the winner.
