But if you want to show a general Halloween party setting / decoration this is allowed as well. Submit your image on the CONTEST PAGE until October 20th. You can also send it to me via Facebook message or Email if you prefer this way. On October 21st all the pictures will be shown on the contest page and you can vote for your favorites.
The last contest about the topic FIGHT! was won by Jeffrey with his picture about Glass Joe vs Mr Sandman from Punch-Out!!. It was inspired by this YouTube video. Congratulations! You can see the Top Five of past contests in the HALL OF FAME.
You might have noticed that there was no SP-Studio update in September. I have to deal with some health issues right now, but I hope to be back soon.

Upload your best SP-Studio pictures in the new contest! This month the topic is FIGHT! We look for pictures about fighters (knights, boxers, fighting game characters,…) or fights in general. They can be inspired by famous fictional characters, real life or your own imagination. Submit your image on the CONTEST PAGE until September 20th. You can also send it to me via Facebook message or Email if you prefer this way. On September 21st all the pictures will be shown on Facebook and you can vote for your favorites. The voting system might change a bit, because more votes are needed… but I am not sure yet how to do this. If you have any suggestions they are welcome!

Exciting news! I am testing a new contest system this month! The old system worked fine for many years, but recently there were annoying bugs. In addition the number of entries became smaller and I want to encourage new people to show their pictures. So now NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED to enter. Just upload your picture on the new CONTESTS PAGE. The topic for the current contest is BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES. You can submit your picture until July 20th. Then the voting will start on the SP-Studio FACEBOOK PAGE. Who gets the most likes wins a free wish for a SP-Studio update. Of course I am curious for your feedback on the new system. I hope to see many old and new faces. Have fun and show your creativity! 🙂
