edited August 2014 in The Art of Star Trek Online
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:
  • One entry per month per forum user. If your image doesn't win, you are welcome to resubmit it the following month as your one entry.
  • All images must measure 1280x720 for submission here for the initial contest.
  • A raw image with measurements of at least 1920x1200 minimum must also be prepared for possibility of the image being turned in to an official wallpaper.
  • Images must be of high resolution quality. Recommended method:
    • Type "/renderscale 2" into your chat window before taking your image
    • Type "/screenshot" to take image
      • (you will find your images in C:\Program Files (x86)\Perfect World Entertainment\Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots on most PC computers)
  • All submitted images must be made of only material from Star Trek Online.
    • No images containing visual material from the TV/Movies, outside artwork or any licensed material from any other source will be excepted.
  • Keep it classy Star Trek fans.

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.

    I can't figure this out. I followed the instructions exactly, but my image always comes out five times the size of the other images in this thread. So, after trying everything else, here's the Imgur link instead, hope this works as an entry...

    Now that I know that it automatically resizes the picture, here's my actual entry. Please disregard that previous post.

    EDIT: I can retake this exact picture with different lighting (sun position) if need be. I just wanted to get my entry in as soon as possible.
