DCS Screen Shot Contest!

[Mike Busutil]

Can we get a DCS screen shot contest going?

 

User's can submit entry's for the first few weeks of the month and then we can vote for the top three during the last week of each month.

 

Each month we could have a different topic: Bad weather, Aircraft carrier Ops, I shouldn't be alive, Best formation flight, Best Kill etc...

 

Show us your best screenshot. Capture your skills in good or bad weather, day or night, be creative, follow the theme. The winner will receive ________ All entries must be submitted by _________, voting will start on ___________, and the winner will be announced ________. Have fun and lets see what you got !!! : Thumbup:

 

Thought's?

There will be too many arguments about whether something was photoshopped or not and allowing photoshopped effects would make it pointless.

 

EDIT: It would also just become another bandwidth killer because too many people cannot grasp the concept of not quoting images.

Ok, so we should not have any fun because people may argue about it.... Any chance you can give an example of when 100% of the people agree 100% of the time every time?

Nope. It never happens here.

 

You asked for thoughts on the subject and those are mine.

 

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

the image could come with the track it was recorded from. to ascertain proof in the pudding etc.

 

Make it a context only competition on some occasions.

I remember an old flightsim forum which has a screenshot comp that worked well.

 

It was topical but had two differerent sections. One for unedited shots and one for edited. At the end of the month a poll was posted with everyone's names as options and people voted for the picture they liked most.

 

The award was simply to have the screenshot placed prominently on the website (unlike to happen here I realise) and that the winner could select the topic for the next months comp.

 

Cheers.
