Please use the following criteria:
1) Concept: how creative or effective is the juxtaposition? Is the idea interesting, possibly unique? Does it make you think or feel anything?
2) Artistic merit: Composition, values, etc... Does the image read well? Is the concept well executed? Do you like how it looks?
3) Play-ability: Would it work as a background? Does it have walk-able areas, obvious exits and/or points of interest? Are you already furiously clicking the image hoping to explore it further?

Ladies and Gentlemen! It is time to stretch those well trained brain cells and do what adventure gamers do best; combine two unlike things in a creative (and possibly terrifying) way!
Like some sort of vast metaphysical inventory puzzle, you must take two different 'things' (concepts, styles, places...) that become more interesting when placed next to each other. Just as an oasis in a vast sandy desert is more interesting than your local duck pond, the drama of these backgrounds will come from the comparison or contrast. No technical limits, but these are the criteria by which the backgrounds will be judged:
1) Concept: how creative or effective is the juxtaposition? Is the idea interesting, possibly unique? Does it make you think or feel anything?
2) Artistic merit: Composition, values, etc... Does the image read well? Is the concept well executed? Do you like how it looks?
3) Play-ability: Would it work as a background? Does it have walk-able areas, obvious exits and/or points of interest? Are you already furiously clicking the image hoping to explore it further?
Good Luck!

Juxtapose: to place side by side, especially for contrast or comparison
