Monthly Screenshot Contest: December - Submit Yours Now!

jodarkriderjodarkrider Member Posts: 2,097 Arc User
Hi fellow Captains,

Winter is coming...
I mean; December has arrived, and with December, many of us enter perhaps the most festive )and most busy, let's face it!) month of the year. And here we are, to bring you new theme for our traditional Monthly Screenshot Contest. And - It would be odd, if we didn't pay a homage to the Winter festivities.

And with the Winter Event coming, as it is every year, it's just perfect opportunity to do so. Your theme for December therefore is:

December's Theme: "Winter festivities"

You aren't limited just to the Winter Event and its' area; if you find a way to make your pictures properly festive, just go for it. Important is, to spruce it up, to be all creative , lighten the mood and enjoy the festivities. Grinches need not apply!

Again, Photoshop alterations and other creative means, such as Demo Record Tool are encouraged, but remember, it has to be your work and no usage of 3rd-party content.

For one F.A.Q. - To upload your screenshots, use a public hosting service, such as www.imgur.com and then post its' URL with the
[img]picture's url here[/img]

To summarize:
  • Post a screenshot/picture of anything related to winter festivities - anything in a good, holiday spirit is good game.
  • Try to be a little creative; and have fun with it.
  • Tools like Photoshop or taking screenshots from Demorecord Tool, from the demos you recorded are perfectly within rules!
  • Only one entry per one user.
  • Entering the contest with more than one account, to bypass the "one entry per user" rule WILL get you disqualified.
  • You can edit your entry throughout the month's contest at your leisure. Just edit your entry with another picture if you want/need to.
  • Have fun!

Again, do your best, Captains!

PRIZES:

1st Prize = 1500 ZEN + Your screenshot gets made into an Official STO Wallpaper!

2nd Prize = 1000 ZEN

3rd Prize = 500 ZEN


FEW RULES:
  • All images must be at least 1920x1080 for submission. Or larger.
  • One entry per month per author. You can re-entry next month if you don't win.
  • Images not meeting the size-requirement will not qualify for the grand- prize of being converted into a wallpaper!
  • All images must be submitted in JPEG form. If you add any graphic elements to your picture, make sure you do keep the .PSD file, in case you win!
  • Adding custom flavor to your image is encouraged! (Ie. editing in Photoshop)
  • Absolute must - All images must be purely made by using Star Trek Online visual assets. Don't use any TV series/movies pictures!
  • No usage of third-party 3D models. As above. Your entries must be done purely by using STO visual assets and/or your creativity. (Photoshop editing - it HAS to be your work)

A LITTLE HOW TO:

All entries must be at least 1920x1080. There are few ways how to get a good picture.
  • Type "/renderscale 2" (or larger number, but needs stronger computer/GPU) into your chat window before you take the image.
  • Type "/screenshot" to take image.
  • This will create a large .TGA file in the directory, which you can convert in Photoshop, to fit the required size.
  • Additionally, you can edit your screenshot, to add custom perks to it, you deem fit! The only rule here is, again, and this is emphasised - it must be your work!
  • You can find your screenshot folder in "\Star Trek Online\Star Trek Online\Live\screenshots" - that being a rule of thumb on most computers

Good luck to every participant. Have good Holidays and Be Efficient!

    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    My Entry

    I was torn between calling it Audience of the Gods or Simple Things in Complicated Times but went with "Simple Things in Complicated Times." Mainly because nothing is more perfect than a man relaxing with his dog under the wonders of the universe.
