Hampster Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sorry if I am filling the forum up with a useless thread, but it is worth a go...THE X-PILOT SCREENSHOT COMPETITION! - I was wondering whether anyone would be interested in partaking in such a competition. Anyone can take screenshots, and the guys on the other side have successfully done a cometition already.It'd be cool to have some views on, if we do do one, how we should do it. and then if there is interest, let the competition begin! I think we should do it like this... There are two categories, edited and non-edited, and there can be one entry per category, per person.Edited category: screenshots taken from sim, and edited by the screenshot taker.Non-edited category: Plain sreenshot from sim taken and not edited in any way.there will be some sort of prize for the winners of both categories.thankyou for bearing with me... I am interested in your onpinions to come!hampster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlaHaldor Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Any restrictions in use of aircraft ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UH-60 Blackhawk Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Only if the category sets a restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm all for it, even without the competition side of it. How about a new thread that shows ONLY photoshop enhanced screenshots? Might be some nice desktop wallpaper in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampster Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Good idea, I've been thinking about it a bit more, and that would be really cool!I'll get back to you on dates for the competition, you guys like the idea, so I am goin ahead with it!watch this space for more info to come....<edit>What will be the prize? If someone is happy to organise a prize that would be awesome. If not, should I contact X-aviation for a free plane.... just thinkin' at the moment, but the prize needs to be good some way or another...

Hampster Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Are we ready???From here on in, the competition is go! The cometition will close on the 21st of september, so you have two weeks to create your wonderful masterpieces! When you do post your entry here, please state what category(s) they are in, that will make it easy to find the winner. The prize hasn't been chosen yet, but I am looking out for a payware aircraft to give away to the two lucky winners. Find more info in this PDF.... So to cap up, two winners will be chosen for first, one in the A category and one in the B, so get snapping and have fun!Remember, only one entry per category.-hampster- Edited September 7, 2011 by Hampster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You may not choose to enter both categories if you like.Really?It can have real life features, I.E. photos from real life in the screenshot, as long as you keep it X-plane centred.What?

Hampster Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) 1. yes, if you like, but I know most will enter both categorys.2. You can add things that aren't from the sim, I.e. pictures or clippings for backgrounds ect... But so long as it still includes an XP aircraft and is keeping the focus on the sim it will pass.(sorry for my bad grammar) Edited September 7, 2011 by Hampster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo W Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Don't worry, they'll come in at the last minute. I'm still having trouble getting my Sundowner near the Beluga, for some reason she's a bit shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaphias Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Almost a week has gone by and no entries? Time is running short everybody!You need three things for a competition to work well in the X-Plane community:-Organization-Promotion-PrizeSadly, there are none of the three here... put some time into planning things out before jumping into them and you'll succeed much more often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampster Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 understood. well worth a shot though... the next one will be better.
