IMO, that really limits the creativity aspect. Most of those resources suck as far as "resources" go. Just my opinion mind you. Maybe you should also have a "free for all" category...or do that at a later date.

Acknowledging that it is just your opinion, a person that is a really good artist can take even the crappiest resource and make it work. The object of a resource is a starting point ...like a blank sheet of paper is a starting point. You have to *make it your own* , make it fit in what you are creating, not just copy and paste.
btw....Are you going to enter? 
Come on people and sign up, give it a whirl, you have nothing to lose and you could win $ ...perhaps for 
and 
!!

How many people have signed up so far? I don't want sign up and start the project, only to have it get canceled due to lack of interest.

I've already finished one wallpaper...more people need to sign up, I need some competition!
You need to go to SA and sign up on the thread there! http://www.skinartistry2.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?1918.post

I signed up. I don't know how much competition I'll be, but I'm in the process of upgrading my Steampunk Windowblind for Windows 7--making a wall to go with it should keep me in the Steampunk mood.

If tbc, Karen and Vamps are entering, I'll take a raincheck. These ladies are so talented that a fat fingered flummox like me would only make a fool (a larger fool than I already am) of himself.

C'mon doc, you're pretty good at throwing those kinds of things together into a nice, pleasing package.

So true.
If you're looking for an opinionated, biased and uber-critical judge of artwork....there ain't no better than me....if you wish/need a judge]....
I'm also incredibly humble and modest...
