A subject title is given along with a sample photo manipulation from a previous or similar contest and a brief description of what contestants should try to do. Entries were then accepted for a fixed period of time, after which they are posted so that people can vote on them, and the results were then compiled. Examples of contests are: *Reality manga - Alter photos of real people (celebrities are popular) so that they look like Japanese anime drawings come to life. *Chimaera – Create a new animal by mating three or four other animals to one. *Invisible world - Take any object or person in an image and make it invisible using photoshop. No indication or outline of the object/animal/person should be seen, except through its function/interaction with other objects and/or people in the image. Some images, are based in the 1897 H.G. Wells science-fiction novella, ''The Invisible Man''. *If Goths ruled – Show what the world would look like if Goths ruled it. Others include mating animals with instruments or plants, zombifying or aging celebrities, combining several movies to one, and many others. Even if the Photoshop contests were the main attraction of Worth1000, it also had a vast variety of contests for photography, writing, illustration, and a multimedia. Along with the regular contests, members of Worth1000 could challenge each other in head-to-head competitions as well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Worth1000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
