Thanks to EA, ATI and Medal of Honor, we’re giving you the chance to win one of three ATI Radeon HD5770 graphics cards. How do you enter? Well you asked for a photoshop competition, and now you’re going to get one…
This competition is all about Medal of Honor, and how this new graphics card will help enhance your gaming experience. To enter we want you to take a picture of yourself, and photoshop the best ‘War Beard’ possible onto it, and then either post the entry in the comments below, or email it to me.
Pretty simple – make sure you send the entry in before midnight December 23. Terms and conditions can be found here.
As a frame of reference – this is a war beard.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 4:45 PMHaha, nice. Except for the part where I take a photo of myself.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 4:55 PMIt’s ok.. this isn;t like any other internet website where you take photos of yourself in exchange for stuff..
… this one you get to keep your clothes on*
*not mandatory

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:27 PMYeah, we’ll see how this goes – I’m gonna have to get pretty drunk to take a photo of myself…

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 4:56 PMSo not happy that I shaved my beard off last week for a bloody meeting. I guess my shorter beard will allow for a “canvas” to start on :)

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:18 PMThis comp sounds cool…
BTW when are you going to tell us who won the iPad?
The competition has closed, hasn’t it?
The T&Cs said it closed on Tuesday night and the entries were judged on Wednesday morning, but Gameloft put on their Facebook page yesterday afternoon that yesterday was the last day to enter the competition…
So, did you judge the entries this morning then?

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:36 PMWill this require the Kotaku logo to be present in the photo like previous competitions?

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:39 PMPERFECT!
my graphics card is not holding up very well at the moment, so this is a great chance to get a new one!

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 5:46 PMcan we get some more comps that were just like 150 words about X in the comments box? photoshop comps although produce some cool photos to show feel kind of exclusive as a certain group of people on the site have a big advantage over the others just because they have better software.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 6:44 PMI was thinking the same thing. However I did still enter this competition just before, it may or may not have involved a sock taped to my face.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 7:34 PMYou could download the 30 day trial of Photoshop, or use the free online version: http://www.photoshop.com/tools . There’s also a site called pixlr.com that looks like it does the same thing.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 11:04 PM@Googootz: The software isn’t the bottleneck here; There’s a plethora of free Photoshop alternatives (G.I.M.P being one of the more famous ones) that allow you to create the same quality images.
I think you’re referring to the fact that not everybody is good a Photo Manipulation, which is a fair point. It’s also true however that the same could be said for writing – not everybody’s good at that either.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:20 PMErmm sorry not this time not posting picture of myself with a beard on the Internet especially after all our account data has been compromised
Mark Serrels
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 8:28 AMThe Australian site was not compromised, we are not part of that.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:25 PMI doubt a girl would look good with a beard, let alone a war beard :\
The Cracks
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 9:40 AMDo it! C’mon, you know it would be hilarious :P

Friday, December 17, 2010 at 7:02 PMI emailed mine to Mark.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:31 PMDammit I trimmed down to stubble just yesterday!
Domino
Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:34 PMI’m Filipino and incapable of growing a beard. Furthermore, the shape of my face is unsuitable for beards. I call discrimination and racism to this contest!!
:p
But seriously, I’ll try my best.

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 8:44 PMI need a new graphics card so bad. I’m in this one for sure.
Cerzel
Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 11:35 PMBut, I’ve already got a beard.
Strange
Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 11:39 PMDon’t really have a use for the graphics card but I might do this anyway just for giggles.
Shane
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 8:34 AMAll the folks too lazy to shave after Movember have instant advantage.
BTW, what do the rules say about people who pretty much already have a war beard going? Do they have to ‘shop a beard onto their beard, or would a straight photo win them prizes? :)
Jimu Hsien
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 12:08 PMYo dawg, we heard you like beards so…
Josh
Friday, December 24, 2010 at 11:20 PMHahaha, I actually spat some coffee out reading this…
So… when do we find out who the winners are?? The suspense is KILLING ME!
Blaghman
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 10:00 AMHey Serrelicious, can I use an old photo that is actually decent, or do I have to take a new one that will look stupid?
Mark Serrels
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 10:11 AMWhatever you think works best mate!
Blaghman
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 4:24 PMSchweet, cheers brah.
Ok, I never said that, that would be stupid and lame.
FatShady MBA
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 10:34 AMCan I please clarify, will the requirements for a Kotaku logo not photoshopped be in this one, otherwise, people can just submit an image they see online. I also liked this part of the comp to see the creative ways people worked in the logo?
Is this still a requirement Marky-Mark?
Mark Serrels
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 10:36 AMNo need for the Kotaku logo this time!
