ChopSkills is a competitive digital imaging arena where artists battle head-to-head in retouching, compositing, and visual effects challenges using traditional editing tools like Photoshop.

How does voting work?

Voting is completely blind. The community votes on submissions without knowing who created them, ensuring fair results based purely on skill.

Prizes vary by challenge. Some feature cash pools, software licenses, or exclusive design assets provided by our official sponsors.

Do I need to be a Pro member to compete?

No, anyone can join and compete for free! Pro members get access to premium assets in the Vault and eligibility for special sponsored prize tiers.
