GRAND OPENING!! Griswold's Surreal Picture prompt contest. #1

Image Credit: James Sebor
Titled : Self portrait
Please use image above as prompt
Credit in authors notes if used.

Ok, so I like funny picture prompt contests, It's kinda a trademark of mine.

While searching for pictures for a background contest I ran across a gallery of hundreds of surreal images. Some of that art was definitely mushroom or acid inspired work.

I loved it!!

I know there are some twisted puppies that write on this site and would love to see where these Images can take our minds...

So this is the first of what I hope are many of like contests to come...

I will add it to my growing list of insanities.

What wont win is a description of the picture.
I can see he is pulling his eyeball out through his ear, that much is obvious to even me.

Neon is for your authors page, please leave it there.

Font that cant be read, cant be read, I won't go a step further.

If you want to take the picture and make a Background out of it that's cool, I do the same shit.

Give me the un-obvious, the surreal, your mind on acid.
Not just random words, make it at least seem to make a twisted sense.

A lot of these images can be taken many different directions.


Make me read it and go what the FiretrUCK??????

How deep are you willing to go into the twisted strangeness of your mind?

Better yet, where do you want to show us?

I can't wait to find out...

Oh yea, I made the background, it is free for AP use.


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 18
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 400, Bronze: 300
  • Final notes:
    First of all I want to thank you all for entering my first Surreal Picture Prompt contest, I appreciate that you all took time to do that. All the entries were great in their own right. The winners just had what I liked when it came to judging time.
    I did want to say that adsaige came very close to placing, a brilliant write in itself, I just could not relate it to the prompt as well as the others. (and I looked hard for a yellow haired girl in that picture!!) I hope you all will enter the next one, I'll have it up shortly... Scott
