Topic Subject: The Official RTW Screenshot Competition - Submission Thread

EDIT AS OF April 8th:

The Submission period will end on Sunday, April 13th.


------------------------------------------------------------

Howdy folks, I know I've not been around here much lately, but I've been busy.

Anyway, as you have probably guessed, I am now announcing the First(I don't think there's been others?) Annual RTW Screenshot Competition.

How this competition will work is you all will submit screenshots in this thread, there will be several different catagories, and after one to two weeks, we will have a voting period(we'll get to that later).

Rules:

- Pictures must be your original screenshot. Plagerism is absolutely not allowed, and you will automatically be disqualified if you are caught.

- Voting will not be held in this thread, so don't vote in this thread or your vote will not be counted.

- You may only vote once

- You may not add anything except text to your pictures.

- Text/captions are welcomed, especially if they add to the effectiveness of your pictures.

- No flaming, bribing, or telling other people to vote for you.

- Pictures can be submitted in any format (preferably clickable thumbnail or URL link format), but keep in mind that your picture will be removed from the voting if the link ends up broken. So don't delete those pictures.

- From SubRosa -
People can look here and scroll down to "So how do I put pictures in it?" to see how to take screenshots and post them on the forums.

Thank You!

- Just have fun with this. We'll see how well this works out, and hopefully this is a fun new thing for us to do as a forum.

As for the picture catagories, here they are(the "other" catagory will probably be expanded).

Catagories:

- Action-packed
- Dramatic
- Emotional/thought provoking
- Comedy
- City Scene
- Country Scene
- Interesting/cool formations
- Other

I am happy to be hosting this competition, and I hope all will work out well. Feel free to post suggestions about the competition or picture catagories as well.

Joining is simple. Just submit a/some picture(s) in this thread in this format:

Name:
Mod/Game:
Best Fit Picture Catagory:

While there will not be a physical reward, the winners will win bragging rights and eternal glory.

And perhaps a mod will consent to put the winning pictures on the announcements page.

Keep in mind that this is new for me and is slightly adapted from the AOK Continuous Screenshot Competition, so it will be a learning experience for everybody, and rules and formats might change. Bear with me friends.

Have fun everybody, let's see those great pictures!

This looks like an excellent idea. I am so glad someone other than me is doing all the work on it!

Great pics everybody!

I plan on having submissions end by the end of next weekend, and then the voting period will start.

@SubRosa or another mod - Perhaps you could put a "one week left" blurb in the front page announcements please?

@Noble Lord Terikel - Great picture, could you possibly post a link like a url in this thread, I only ask because it will make it easier when I move the pictures to the voting thread.

Keep up the good picture taking everyone!
