Gustav, you make a very good point. A contest based on Facebook is a transparent ploy to get Likes for their page. Beyond that, FB is a truly crappy content platform. Adobe goes on about empowering the creation of great web experiences and then uses FB – rather contradictory.

Why ho why always on Facebook ?!
Adobe provide the most powerful tool to build a web page or website. And that competition is on Facebook ?
What if we don’t want to join FB …
Too bad I can’t even see the result…

John, I’d guess that any contest which needs an 8 by 3 matrix stuck there in middle of the rules cannot be considered simple. And the entrant needs “to make a phony photo” in one of six pre-ordained categories – what happened to good old-fashioned freestyle fakery?

There’s a Manti T’eo joke in here somewhere..

Dang! I know that Adobe is famous for complicated software. But really, ultra, complex competitions now as well?

[I fail to see the complexity. Make a phony photo, get prizes. The end. --J.]

Given that this is almost over, hearing about it six weeks ago, when it began, might have been nice. [Clearly I'm the jerk here. --J.]
