    Does this disqualify screenshots from in the game?

    We'll have to wait Sparkie's offical confirmation but I gonna go out on a limb and say no because Screenshots have always been the exception to that rule. And that rule has always been in place in their contests, so that in a drawing contest someone can't just submit some random picture they found on the net and claim it as their own, for example. PWI stock art, logo, promotional materials, etc have also always been fair game.

    Title: THE LAST SUPPER

    http://postimg.org/image/tozk41r5b/

    Description:
    Egg designed using photoshop, and power point. Depicts a scene of the Last Supper (PWI Style) with Jesus Panda Barb, and his 12 multi racial disciples. The supper takes place in the treasure room in the Flowsilver Palace. The image is centered in the middle representing the mortal realm, and a cool color representing heaven on the top, and a warmer color representing hell at the bottom of the egg, as a struggle between good and evil.

    These are all amazing, I'm pretty excited to start picking!

    I will announce winners in a bit, but as to the last question; Screenshots count, I just didn't want players going out and taking images created by someone else, such as art pieces, vectors, etc.

    Lol, out of all the quality submissions on the forum, those are what were chosen...

    For the quality of judging, I'm surprised http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/Walter_k3/media/Easter-Egg-Template-Coloring-Page_zps9e7d5dc5.gif.html didn't make it. b:lipcurl b:embarrass

    Judging from the winning entries, everyone who took screen shots and used it in their entry were disqualified, because images in game is considered to be copyrighted by PWI. This should had been made clear and elaborated to the people participating in this event that screen shots should not be used. That is why a lot of good entries done by very talented Photoshop experts didn't win.

    How else can you explain the 2nd winner - simplistic as coloring an egg pink, with potshots, and slap on a rabibit that is copyrighted and that is so unprofessional colored in blue with white marks win?


    The 3rd winner uses a teddy bear - that is a screen shot of the all class pet in game Sir Cuddlesworth enlarged(Sparkie doesn't play the game so he doesn't know this to be a copy right image). And I am sure I have seen this and the orange background used in some news sales page already.


    All in all, I think this event was really bias and had unfair, unclear ruling, and judging experience.

    They were certainly not disqualified, as I even had a good few of them as my final choices. Anything PWI related was fair game, such as screenshots and the like. The only thing I was watching out for is players taking other players' work and trying to pass it off as their own.

    Although I agree that 1st, 4th, and 5th winners are genuine and deserved their place, but 2nd, and 3rd were clearly to me taken from other places.

    2nd winner was an image taken from

    It seems as though rules and instructions were thrown out the window - a template was provided, more than half the winners drew outside the template . . . if you're going to have a contest, please provide and follow the rules, especially when judging!!! The easter theme seemed not to count on one of the winners as well. I recommend an explanation of breaking the rules while judging or re-judge an additional 5 for following the rules!!!

    After reading all the comments it seems like its in everyones best interest to reassess the winners, dont take anything away from them but add 5 people that followed the rules, please consider making it right.

    I see a feable attempt at making it right occured, what about the template issue - I am an architect and when a template is provided the rules I work in are simple, follow the template/example - how can you justify a beautiful piece but not drawn to specifications as a winner, please try a little harder to review YOUR OWN RULES and make it right!! Prove that PWI can be fair and just.

    I was wondering what was the point of having a template when most where not using the template or the Easter egg? i was thinking from the example given that the work had to be done inside the Easter egg and nothing outside of it but most of the ones chosen where outside of the egg, maybe the rules should have been written more clearly >.< b:surrender

    All my vector art and screenshot images are genuinely my own (except for PWI logo). I can understand its hard to tell the difference sometimes especially when you're worried about copyright matters and the safer option would be to choose hand drawn images for originality. But in doing so, those who did not draw would have felt slighted. Perhaps next time this could simply be a drawing contest instead to make it easier on the judging and on contestants.

    Anyways grats to the winners. It's been fun creating the masterpieces and thank you Sparkie for organizing the contest. Please do keep more of such events coming. b:bye

    Isn't drawing harder than... ummm... not drawing? xD Why should they feel slighted if those who draw make more efforts to it? Anyway, it was allowed to choose.
    I could use ss, but decided to draw just for fun, not for win.

    Gz to winners, and yes, 1st place is really well done and deserved despite going outside template limits :)

    Sparkie confirmed for venolover. kos, ban, fire, new CM please.

    Also, I never understood the way PWE judges anything, this just proves it, again. There were way better entries than some chosen to be winners.

    That's the thing, your comment already said you felt that people who use computer are putting less effort than drawing. That's what I meant by being biased like that, those who put effort in their digital artwork would feel slighted.

    Nevertheless, I'm not saying drawing isn't tough. In fact I love to draw but that's to individual's preference of course. Just that since 4/5 of the winners are drawings, it should be a drawing contest instead (in the future of course).

    Still I love joining in events like this so keep the contests coming! b:laugh

    Too bad the pose of the teddy doesn't match the one in the egg though.
    Regardless since the teddy is part of PWI you don't have to provide any evidence anyway, so why bother.
