Quick Overview and How to Enter:
Create and post one or several Graphic Design/Photoshop Tutorials in either the Forum Tutorials or Photoshop Tutorial Videos or Quick-Tips and Techniques sections of the forum.

After you have posted a tutorial make a reply in this thread and tell us about the tutorial. Follow the example post and the rest of the rules here.

After the close of the contest the person with the best entry or entries will be chosen.

Rules:
The tutorial(s) you post must be original and created by you. You must not post other people's work and you must not copy/plagiarize tutorials created by others.

You can post either written (text and image) tutorials, or video tutorials. They must be for Adobe Photoshop or for directly related Graphic Design/Photography/Illustration software that can be used in conjunction with Photoshop. For example they can be for popular Photoshop plugins, or for integrating Photoshop with video or 3D programs such as After Effects, 3DS Max, Illustrator, Maya, etc.

If you post a text based tutorial please include screen shots of each step whenever it would be helpful. For video tutorials please have a clear mic or clearly written instructions on-screen... videos without clear instruction that are hard to follow will not qualify.

If you encounter problems or need help making a tutorial (things like taking a screen shot, names of tools used, how to format your post, etc.) you are welcome to post up in the forum and ask for help.

Deadline:
All entries must be submitted on or before November 14, 2010

Well, the one I posted is not an entry but simply an example of what to post here after you make a tutorial.... but yes the tuts can be simple... or they can be complex.... there's not really any limitations on what type of tutorial you can post.

The things we are looking for are originality and usefulness, as well as being easy to follow and written/formatted properly.

Today was supposed to be the day this contest closes, but with only one entry I am going to extend the deadline to the end of the month.

This is a fantastic prize ladies and gents, get some tutorials up and enter them!

New close date is Nov. 30 I hope we get more entries by then, it will not be extended again.

Best of luck!

Heck NO !! No-no-no-no ... You're not getting away that easy. Them gates will stay open til Nov 30 and I'm counting on you here. Also waiting for Yotusi and Dezigns Unlimited and Bobzworld and the other close to 400 who's read this thread.
It's not just the competition - it's putting Photoshop Gurus on the list of Really Great Sites.
I've got Nov 16 in my part of the world and that gives 14 more days to go, so there's plenty of time to be creative in multiple ways.

Well, if this contest is still a contest I would like to throw in the two video tutorials I've done recently.

Image Map from Bridge

A video tutorial showing step-by-step how you can make an image map directly in Bridge as a PDF-document for printing and/or for sending along as an email attachment.

Color Adjustment - A brief introduction

This video tutorial is ment as support for those not so comfortable with Color Adjustments (Color Corrections). It attempts to throw some light on the mechanics behind Color Adjustment. The tutorial also discuss the basic understanding of the Color Wheel, what it is and how it works, Complemetary Colors and the Photoshop tools Variations and Color Balance.

Hi JgraphNet, thanks for your support and for the video tutorial entries. Based on your response in a different thread about freelance tutorial work, I would like to know if you read the fine print of this contest (bottom of the first post) and if you agree to it.

Anyone else up for making some tutorials better get them in quickly, this contest will end soon!

Yes I did and yes I do.
I've read it several times now and the case with the freelance work is a different situation.
