Here’s an easy way to become one of the first people in the country with a Nokia Lumia 920 in your hot little hand — yup, it’s a Photoshop Challenge! Jump over for more details.
The Lumia range is obviously one of the brightest collections of smartphones around; heck, Nokia’s even based its most recent (and rather daring) advert using this angle. But I want to see you go one step further. Download one of the three images on this post, and using Photoshop, MS Word, or your own bare hand, customise it to your heart’s content — will you make it a solid colour? Give it some mad patterns? Implant Princess Leia hair-plugs on either side of its head?
Whatever you do, make sure you read the rules…
- Submissions MUST be your own work.
- Email submissions to gizshootingchallenge@gmail.com, with the subject “Lumia competition.”
- Please ensure your image is at least 600px wide, and in landscape format (preferably 640 x 360).
- Save your image as a JPG, and use the following naming convention FirstnameLastnameLumia.jpg
- Send your best effort by Monday, 29th October at 10am UK time with “Lumia competition” in the subject line. Anyone who sends their entries in before this Friday will have their submissions shown in a tantalising preview gallery at the end of the week.
- Only those based in the UK can enter; the date the winner will receive their prize of the Lumia 920 is yet to be confirmed.
- The most important rule — HAVE FUN.
A sneak peek gallery of the first batch of entries will be published this Friday at 4pm, with the remaining entries (and winner) announced soon after October 29th.
This week, we’re celebrating the many facets of modern design on Gizmodo UK, with a design theme week. Bookmark this page for all related stories, features, interviews and competitions, or contact us here with tips.
Your Nokia Lumia 920 Photoshop Entries, So Far
Whose Photoshop Skillz Won Them a Nokia Lumia 920?
Nokia Lumia 920 Versus a Car
i’m gonna photoshop a naked pic of kat onto the back of my pink 1.
Because THAT will win you the competition. And because there are so many naked photos of me online, yes…
There doesn’t have to be, this is a Photoshop competition.
I was going to start with that porn domain picture they have an obsession with around these parts

woah… i think i know where to sign on the sexual harrasment form… thank you very much……
As Kat has said, there are no naked pics of her online, but there is this gratuitous pussy shot http://goo.gl/FchHq
Now there is a link that I probably shouldn’t open at work..
Kat has a bit of an Alison Pill look going on there..
You think, well there are certainly rude pictures of her on the net, but I don’t see the similarly
Maybe it’s just that photo and the fact that I haven’t actually met Kat..

Can I not be traditional and send you pictures of my penis in order to win the Lumia?
Please ensure your image is at least 600px wide. – so no…..
Correct answer.

hmmmmm to click or not to click…..
Can I Photoshop the Lumia to run Android?
I kid, the Windows Phone 8 OS looks fantastic.
Win, buy, freebie or robbery I so cannot wait to get my grubby hands on a Lumia 920!
Can I do mine in MS Paint?
Go fer it!
The Nokia advert makes me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWNOlkRl2yQ
Are there any restrictions on how many images can be submitted?
as the naming convention is firstnamesurnamelumia.jpg I would presume so.
Please only submit one.
Oooooh, going to go all Gok Wan on this
Fashion baby :p

How good is everyone at Photoshop? I don’t have PS CS cause I’m on a Mac and have to shell out 50 odd quid to get it. Boo.
There are, ahem, “alternative” ways to procure it. Otherwise, try http://www.gimp.org/ or one of the other online photo-editing services. (I haven’t used them in many years, so hopefully other readers can point you in the right direction of what to use…)
You could always just get the trial version for the purpose of this competition. Also if you want a cheap alternative which is nearly as good as PS, then seek out http://www.pixelmator.com/
Quick question: Can you design a Lumia that looks like the one in the image from scratch and customize it that way?
Sure, why not.
Perfect, That means i can finally use some techniques I learnt a while ago in a real situation, Thanks Kat
i find techniques learnt in real situations are better than ones learnt in fake situations
I hear that
They probably are, but you might not survive a real situation. I would rather practise my shooting skills in a paint-ball session rather than a live-fire session.
What’s the name of that website with a photo of a man holding his buttock apart? A photo of that with the Lumia up you-know-where should win you the grand price I reckon.

Good. That link doesn’t actually work. My faith in humanity has been restored.
Sorry to be a grammar nazi but I think you mean “should fetch a grand price”
Damn I meant “should fetch you a grand price”!!
Joke’s over, it’s ruined. I’m going home.
I meant to type “prize” instead of price.
Lies!
Ummm…. Cakes!
Just submitted mine, worth a shot I reckon.
Just submitted mine, worth a shot I reckon
Yeah, your clone was just saying the same thing.

Does this mean that you’ve killed the other 85 dirtymagics?
have submitted mine, I’m not an expert but gave it my best go
ooops spelling mistake in first one, re sent lol
really hope they are not judging this on pure talent, as i seem to have run out
Does “MUST be your own work” mean that we cannot include anything in our submission other than the lumia and elements made from scratch, or are we allowed to use other content (posters or photos, for example) as part of our submission?
well i have butchered other images to use in mine, I assume not many of us here would have the skill to create everything from scratch, so i would say go for it
What colour Lumia is up for grabs? Or can we choose?
I really really really really really really really really want to win this!
Just submitted mine. It’s fucking weird.
Where are the early bird entries Kat? can you tell i’m eager?!!
Yeah, where are the entries so far! I’m keen to see…
SO MUCH TENSION.
SOOO MUCH.
Am I the only one who waited all week for 4pm Friday on the dot?
Sorry Spatch; the post is taking longer to edit than we expected, so it’ll be with you all shortly.
Ok cool, Thanks Kat! It’s the first comp i’ve entered into so far!!
Sorry for the delay getting the initial entries’ post up; it’s taking longer to pull together than expected. It’ll be up shortly!
Cool. Sounds good.
Bated Breath, its a phrase that i’ve never understood, but i believe it applies to me right now
Thanks for the update
Is it going to be an update on this page or a new page?
Here you go! http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/10/your-nokia-lumia-920-photoshop-entries-so-far
When will the winner be announced? Also where can i find the entries on the nokia facebook/pininterest sites?
Next week, and I’ll email you when Nokia puts the images up on Facebook etc, if yours is chosen!
Thanks
