Who’s going to be King of the Hill this summer?

With so many great movies being released this summer, no-one here at Play With Pictures HQ can agree which one is going to come out on top.

We thought we’d have a bit of fun and try to settle the argument by seeing what our community members thought,... and of course give away an iPod while we’re at it!

So go on, mash up a few characters from different movies, or create your own movie poster. Tell us which movie you’re most looking forward to and put yourself in the running to win an 8G iPod Nano.

Post your entries to our fan page on Facebook here, or stick ‘em up on the Flickr page here.

If you don’t already have a copy of Play With Pictures you can download a free trial here.

First Prize is an Apple iPod Nano 8G, second and third places will each win a copy of Play With Pictures (SRP $40)

The draw will take place on the 12^th of June, so get your entries in now.

There have been so many great pictures coming out of the Play With Pictures community sites that we have decided to start a monthly post of our top 10 favourites images. Entries are judged on creativity, best use of the programs features and quality of the finished image. We only select from our community members on our community pages cause we love you guys!

So if you would like to have one of your images considered for the monthly top 10, upload them to either the Facebook group or the Flickr Group and I’ll definitely consider them for inclusion in next month’s top 10!

Here are this month's top 10 in reverse order:
