Users TAMPA, FL – Nov. 29, 2006 – The National Association of Photoshop Professionals
(NAPP) today announced its call for entries to the second annual Photoshop User
Awards – the only worldwide competition exclusively for Adobe® Photoshop® users.
“Photoshop
artists, photographers, and designers from around the world will have an
opportunity to gain international recognition, celebrate their very best work
and share their vision and creativity with the worldwide Photoshop community,”
said Scott Kelby, president of NAPP and best-selling author of computer and
technology books worldwide.
Winners
will be chosen in 11 categories, and the Best of Show Grand Prize winner will be
sent by Photoshop User magazine on a
dream assignment to Rome, Italy. Photoshop User is providing roundtrip
airfare, hotel accommodations, hotel transfers and daily expenses for the winner
– and an assistant of their choice – for this world-class assignment. They’ll be
on assignment for five days, using Rome as their inspiration as they design the

the Best of Show award, the winning images in each category will appear in a
special issue of Photoshop User, and
each category winner will receive a prize package worth more than $2,500. Now in
