In response to a few queries about the brief for our competition to ‘Unleash your creativity’ to win prizes from Intel, I thought I’d clarify a few things.
Firstly, after the competition’s launch, a few questions about the brief were raised, so Paul, ImagineFX’s art editor and myself answered these questions on page two of the thread here and Paul provided an illustration to depict just how open the brief can be interpreted.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the competition was held across four magazines here at Future Publishing. ImagineFX, Computer Arts, 3D World and Computer Arts Projects. Each magazine had its own prize but the brief was the same for each magazine.
Below are the winning images from 3D World and Computer Arts' competition, which illustrate how other digital artists interpreted the brief. Looking at the various templates offered as as an example of how the image would be used, it’s clear that these images suit the sizes (A4, half page, web banner, etc) required in the brief.

We’re extremely happy that Alex, a graphic designer won the competition – and I urge you to check out his process for creating the winning image on the thread link above, because it’s a very interesting insight into his process. We received many entries and believe that Alex’s entry was the best image. Our decision is final.
The competition to start off our search for the digital artists of the year was a great success, and now we want all of you to check out www.digitalartistawards.com and enter your art in the categories. Good luck!
