Starting June 1st, 2014, we will begin our Monthly Screenshot Contest! This thread will remain closed until the contest begins.
This is the contest for all you Graphic Designers, Photographers and artsy Captains who want to submit some custom made screenshots of your adventures in STO!
Every month, we will have a themed contest where you can enter to compete for one of three prizes listed below. The monthly contest will start on the 1st of each month and will run until the end of that month. Winners will be picked the first week of each month, and announced by that weeks end. Wallpapers will be created the following Friday and posted on the STO ArcGames.com Media Gallery.
Prizes!
1st Prize = 1500 ZEN + Your screenshot gets made into an Official STO Wallpaper!
2nd Prize = 1000 ZEN
3rd Prize = 500 ZEN
I will also send all placing winners to our Dev team to consider for possible future additions to the loading screens!
These screenshots can be your chance to showcase your skills as a designer with custom UI placement, special effects, photography style filters or anything you can produce to wow the team.
All entries should be placed in this thread. This thread will be wiped clean on the first of every month to keep the thread short and simple. This thread should be for the placement of image entries only. Any posts not containing an entry, or not staying within these rules will be removed.
Discussion Thread and Index Thread will be created when the contest begins.
Basic Rules:
Good luck to everyone who enters!
NOTE: The above rules and conditions are subject to change.

Questions regarding this Contest:
The images created by using the instructions in the OP will result in a much larger image. This will need to be reduced in size to meet the image requirements using some kind of photo editing software. Photoshop is my recommendation, but you should be able to use MSPaint as well, or Gimp, or many other freeware programs out there.
The images can be taken anyway you want as long as you can produce the higher quality version for better scalability.
Text can be added if desired.
No 3D models or textures can be used in this contest. The image must contain in-game material.
All images must be submitted in JPEG form. No layered PSDs will be excepted. If you wish to create a custom border or UI interface, etc., you will have to bake it into the image when saving it as JPEG.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
