Hi fellow Captains,

May's here, and with the beginning of the new month, there's also a new theme for our regularly scheduled artistic carnage expressions, in form of your meticulously taken screenshots. No beating around the bush or in the words of my character, no irrelevant discourses, and let's get onto it!

Your Theme is:

May's Theme: "Red, Blue & Yellow!"

This month comes in with a small twist, fellow Captains. And to explain the theme in detail - We want to highlight each respective career. The "colors" of Star Trek, so to speak. Scientists, Doctors, Engineers, Ops officers, Tactical Officers, Command Officers! That kind of flavor. Capture the daily work of your careers, give them some lime-light in a way you feel it expresses your characters & their careers the best. All factions encouraged and welcome.

Here's the twist. Given how many possibilities there are, we won't have just 3 winners this month. We'll have 6 winners this month, two per one career. It'll look like this:

Tactical!
- First Place
- Second Place

Engineering!
- First Place
- Second Place

Science!
- First Place
- Second Place

Don't forget to have some fun with those & give us your best.

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:
  • It's 'career' time. Science/Medical, Engineering/Ops, Tactical/Command. You decide how to represent those in your submissions. There are no limits, all factions welcome.
  • 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!

Have fun!

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, we're looking forward to your entries. Be Efficient!
