1024X768 is fine. The contest should be more about the idea and the execution, not the technical quality of the photoshopping. It makes it more fun for people, as they don't have to spend nearly as much time making sure all their edits are super neat.

Yea, I do have a specific car in mind when I search it. I just have trouble finding hq images in the right angle. I will try to media release sites though and see if that brings me anything. Thanks
I'd like to take this time to say just how amazingly useful Content Aware Fill is in CS6. Truly awesome.
