Further Information
Some community members voiced concerns about the contest. We appreciate the feedback. You can review the issues voiced in the comments of the PSDTUTS First Tutorial Writing Contest Announcement! Below is a summary of some responses to those concerns.
Things for Entrants to Consider:
- The prizes are significantly higher than our normal payments.
- It’s a short contest, as it’s only a week long. That means less competition and a higher chance of winning.
- Non-winning entries retain all rights to their tutorials.
- If your tutorial does not win, we will consider your tutorial for publication, though that is not automatic. We’re open to discussing publication for quality tutorials. We’re certainly interested in working with talented tutorial writers.
- Time is running down and chances of winning are high! Good luck!
If there are any more questions, please let me know in the comments below. I look forward to reviewing the final tutorial entries over the last couple days of the contest.
Note that only Completed Tutorials are being considered for this contest and not Preview Submissions. Do use our PSDTUTS Completed Tutorial Submission form for contest entries.
New Sponsors
We’re not going to have additional Sponsors for this contest, as it’s a short contest focused on writing content for the PSDTUTS site, though we are looking for Sponsors for the next contest.
If you would like to sponsor the next PSDTUTS contest, then let us know. We’ll consider adding you to the list. Let us know what you have to offer as a prize to members of PSDTUTS. Think of things that digital artists or designers could utilize. Use our Contact Form to let us know.

Ohh! this is very exciting one. Good luck to all!
Cool, you gotta know you’re gonna get a good tut after you have a contest for it. Hope you get a lot of good entries!
Cool, I wish I know how to write
the paypal account as the requirement to sumbit a form has avoided a lot of designers to submit their creativity including me.. i’m an avid fan of your website and am always looking forward to contribute to this website.. but unfortunately, the admins didn’t think about this…
What do you do if your PSD file is 28 MB and the max submission MB is 10 from there submission form website?
@xtatic – If you do not have a PayPal account, the prize will be made in the form of an Amazon gift voucher. You can write Amazon Gift Voucher in that form field for this contest.
@Brad Ballard. Feel free to upload the files to your server, or to a free uploading service, and then email the link to the files. Here is my email psdtuts [at] tutsplus.com
Will all the entries be published or only just the winners? I personally would like to see all of them be published. It would be a great addition to the site.
Sorry for my ignorance..but what is an Amazon Gift Voucher? Is it good as cash? Well because I don’t live in the U.S. and I don’t have a PayPal account.. but I’m thinking about joining this contest. I would really appreciate if someone would explain what the Gift Voucher is and what’s it good for? Thanks Guys.
Good luck! Very exciting.
sounds great !
When is the result out?
It will take a few days to review the tutorials and choose the winners. Later this week we should be posting the results. Thanks to everyone that participated.
Is the contest officially closed?? Please notify if it’s extended for some day!!
Good
PSDTUTS own all
Good luck to everyone joining!

We exist since more than 10 years and we publish a spanish digital magazine called Photoshop Newsletter with tutorials, tips and reviews of actions, plugins.
