BACKGROUND COMPETITION: JULY/AUGUST

I have decided to start a new competition in favour of the world gymnast! We tried this last 2 months but wasn't successful but we've heated up the prizes and want everyone to enter. The TWG Background Competition: July-August is going to be a good competition for all budding photographic editors but also for gymnastics fans to have a little go at a fun hobby. Creating backgrounds is cool because you can do whatever you want but there is a few rules.


Rules:

1. Entry is 10 years +
2. It must be a gymnastics photo (artistic)
3. One entry per name, e-mail, twitter, facebook, tumblr
4. Entry's after closing date will not be accepted

So, they are the basic rules. Here's some of the basic questions answered

Why?

for the chance of a world gymnast fan to have the pride of having their work displayed on the site and to win the prize. 

How?

you can do edits on photoshop, muzy etc. but my favoured site if BeFunky! No registration required and the effects are better than most sites.

Where Do I Upload?

you can e-mail; the.world.gymnast1@gmail.com, Facebook: Twg Gym-Blog Twitter: @theworldgymnast or post on tumblr; gymn45tic5.tumblr.com

Prizes?

1st place will get a free world gymnast signature tee (worth £19.60-£20.60), 2nd place will get a permanent role of blogging at the world gymnast and 3rd place will get a free shoutout and follow on twitter (if you don't have twitter, e-mail)

Closing Date?

28th August 2012

more questions? don't hesitate to ask. 

good luck! ;)

LONDON 2012: ITALY?

the selection process' are coming to a close for the London 2012 Olympics but Italy are the nation that is currently pending it's bid. Italy placed 1st in the team final of the London Test Event. I'm not sure when the final team will be announced but who will you put in your team? Here is mine;

1. Carlotta Ferlito
2. Elisabetta Preziosa
3. Vanessa Ferrari
4. Francesca DeAgostini
5. Erika Fasana

Reserves: Giorgia Campana, Ciara Gandolfi

I think Italy have a lot of strength and depth. Representing them on the vault is Erika Fasana. European Finalist and Test Event Finalist. Vanessa Ferrari is the leader of bars and beam is self-explanatory. Literally, every single girl can do beam but Preziosa, Ferlito and DeAgostini are the stand-outs. Preziosa and Ferlito placed 1st and 2nd in the 2011 European Final and Francesca made the final at London 2012 Test Event. Floor is also Ferrari's bag but they could all challenge. Overall, Italy could definitely challenge. 

MUZY

hello all! i've found a great site called 'Muzy.com'. It's really handy because you sign up (by e-mail or via. facebook) and you can create and edit pictures really easily. I still use befunky but this tool is very helpful.
