It's competition time again! Woohoo!! After the amazing success of the Animal Head Photomashup Challenge, I felt it was time to do another one.
This time I want you to design an emoji with a difference, the more different and out there your design is, the greater your chance of winning! I think emojis are a very important part of modern life, as they help convey emotion where there is none.
I Want To Enter But Don't Know How To Use Photoshop
Well you're in luck! I have just posted a making emoji pixlr video tutorial whereby I show you a few techniques involved in making an emoji.
Also the tool I use is completely 100% free to use! There are no downloads or signups, simply go to pixlr.com and start using straightaway!
Rules
OK I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW ALL THE RULES YOU WILL NOT BE ENTERED INTO THE COMPETITION, DO NOT MISTAKE A VOTE FROM ME AS AN ENDORSEMENT FOR YOUR ENTRY!
Each entry must be in the form of a post and have Cryptogee Photomash Emoji Challenge as part/all of the title.
Comments to this post will not count as entries, although all entrants are required to link to qualifying posts in the comment section. In the event that the competition runs longer than 7 days, posts must be made in the most recent update post.
Each qualifying post must use the tag #cryptogee-photomash (failure to do this may cause your entry to be missed, thus invalidating them from the competition). Additional tags of #cryptogee-comps and #emoji-challenge are welcomed but not mandatory.
Each entrant must help spread the word by voting for, and resteeming this post.
Qualifying entries must adhere to the style of an uncommon emoji, so smiling or crying emojis are pretty commonplace, and therefore have little chance of winning, be creative! Extra backgrounds and features can be added, and are welcomed, the funnier the better.
Entries must be original own work, can be done on any software and a screenshot of the layer file must accompany all entries.
Each Steemian can enter as many times as they like.
Payout
The competition will run for 7 days (rights reserved to extend) and there is one first prize of 10 SBD which will be paid out to the winner within 24 hours of the announcing post. Although I have been known to break my own rule on this, for the Animal Head Challenge, I doubled the prize money and added four more people to the prize pool. So make sure you put your best efforts into this one guys!

Good luck, and most of all, have fun!
