As regular visitors to this site may have noticed, Deke’s Techniques has rather taken over my life lately. And now it’s about to take over yours. Starting July 17, this humble site embarks on the ultimate quest for talent: 3 contests, 6 weeks, 10 winners. It’s a little thing I call

Here’s the idea: Over the last year and a half, I’ve recorded 150 Deke’s Techniques. Now, it’s your turn. Record a movie showing off your favorite technique and you stand a chance of winning a treasure trove of prizes from lynda.com, Wacom, Fotolia, onOne Software, Alien Skin Software, TechSmith, and Adobe. That’s right, you might win Creative Suite 6.For complete rules and submission guidelines, keep an eye on this site. You’ll have to be a member of dekeOnline to compete, so join today. (This will also subscribe you to my newsletter, which will keep you up-to-date on each and every contest. Naturally, you can cancel anytime.)

As if that’s not enough, July 17 will mark the debut of the most ambitious (and possibly insane) episode of Deke’s Techniques yet. As I say, keep watching.
