Wow, what a great run! We accepted 785 submissions from artists all over the globe!
On behalf of the Retouching Academy team and the Contest sponsors, Wacom and Capture One, I’d like to thank everyone who participated! We really enjoyed seeing how much fun artists from around the globe have had retouching and sharing their images with us and their own social media followers. You can check them out via the #RAretouchingcontest hashtag.
Now, the selection process begins! We will announce the winners no later than June 1, 2018.
In the meantime, check out this timelapse retouching video recorded by one of the Contest participants, Haley Nelson. You can see more of Haley’s work at @haleyfrostcreative.

I was looking through some of the entries that used the hashtag on Instagram! I have no idea how you guys are going to narrow it down there are tons of great entries.
Oh yes, it isn’t easy! Especially in the Enthusiast category – there are many equally good retouches, so we have to be super extra picky 🙂
