We’re now accepting entries for the 2nd Annual “Shades of Pink” Digital ACEO Collage Challenge. October’s just around the corner & last year Yahoo! donated money for breast cancer research based on the amount of pink images submitted to various flickr groups. If they’re doing so again, we’ll be submitting all contest entries to these groups… and if not, we’ll show them off here. Either way, we’ve got prizes for the winners, so read the guidelines, grab some free collage sheets & get creating!

Pink” is once again the theme. ACEO collages are traditionally 2.5″ x3.5″ (trading card sized), though we will be accepting any pink collage submissions. It’s for a good cause after all :)

We are offering 6 free digital collage sheets to help spark your creativity.

Feel free to message us with any questions or comments.

We are not requiring that you use these images, as we did last year. Instead, you’re welcome to incorporate whatever elements you have access to & create any pink themed collage you’d like. We do want to keep the contest family friendly – nudity is acceptable, but nothing pornographic please. Images deemed distasteful will be removed at our discretion.

We also ask that you join and cross post your pink images to the flickr groups when they open in October (we’ll let you know). Your pictures can help raise money for breast cancer research!

Surrealist Salvador Dali is no doubt one of the most influential painters of the 20th century and is most well known for his work with oil on canvas including his paintings The Persistence of Memory and his much acclaimed Hallucinogenic Toreador, but Dali also employed the use of collage methods on numerous occasions to great effect. Here are a few examples of his work which incorporate collage elements. (For more by Salvador Dali, don’t miss Dali’s Adventures In Wonderland at Uncommon Nonsense)
