The effect of double (or multiple) exposure first came about way back in the days before digital, when photographers would expose a frame and then shoot a second image before advancing the film. The end result was two photos on one frame, better known as a ‘double exposure’. The age of digital has seen a proliferation of this photography style, particularly in recent years where it has popped up on anything from album art to countless Instagram feeds. Whilst many digital cameras give photographers the ability to create multiple exposures in-camera, most of today’s examples are probably created in Photoshop by blending layers.

In this challenge we want to see your best images that display the multiple exposure effect. If you’re new to this art form, check out these two tutorials: the first by contest sponsors PhotoshopCAFE, and the second by our judge, Piotr Skoczylas on Petapixel.
The expert's winner and the crowd's winner can choose between PhotoshopCAFE's Survival Kit CS6 or CC version ($249.99). The highest placed entries will feature on Photocrowd's 'Best images' page and social media channels.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
