That was the other thing I wanted... each of us judges need to submit some ideas on the rules, it is tedious work.

Please judges... Fly2E, Rifleman, y2, and Woodlouse... gimme some ideas, submit them here and reference "Screenshot Rules" in the subject line.

I am guessing that while everyone wants to be a judge and be a part of it all... That no one wants to help out with the technicalities involved (such as defining some rules for the contest).  I can't do it by myself, so I guess no one really wants this contest.  I am backing out, I have received no emails in regards to help with the defining the rules of the contest... Again, I can't do it all myself.  I asked for help, people volunteered and now that there is actual work to be done... they have disappeared.

Sorry to all of those that really wanted the contest... But...

I am really sorry BE58D,
I am SO busy. It sounded great but I kind of thought that ground rules would have been made I I volunteered to just come in and be a judge.
I actually totally forgot about this. I am so busy with my haouse and am hardly even around as of right now. I am very sorry. Last I checked in You posted something about possibly having to bail out....so I really have not checked in.  Sorry for the let down, I Like I said, I thought all the rules would be set and I could just pop in and vote on the latest pictures that were submitted.

Hey BE58D.
sorry i have really been busy. rules for this are difficult to decide. anytime you come up with a set of rules someone will have a complaint. i still think a seperate catagory for each performance of computer might work.
other than that, things like, how differant catagorys. things like a stunt section. best daytime shot, best twilight shot, best nightime shot and so on. if there arnt going to be prizes the amount of catagorys isnt a problem. you put those sort of catagorys in each of the Specs sections. that way it is kept fair for those who have lower end machines and then those with top of the range tweaked machines can have their own catagory to battle out in, and its upto the users to choose which they enter.
any help at all??

We could just get this thing up and running tomarrow if we didn't have any rules!!!!!!!!
Post a picture, vote, winner.....N'ff said!!
I think we are making this MORE complicated than it is. I agree with the "no guests", 1 picture per contest, 1 contest  per month, but let's stop worrying about tweaked machines, add on scenery, payware planes, etc..... Angry !!!
Sometimes a really interesting and great shot is a freeware plane against a blue sky!!!
I will be looking at camera angles, points of perspective, interesting & different shots, etc.....
I have seen alot of really impressive shots with freeware addons and default scenery.
SO LETS GET IT GOING ALREADY.
We are waysting time with trying to "accomodate" everybody.

It is simple.

SCREENSHOT CONTEST.......POST YOUR SHOT........JUDGES VOTE......WINNER ANNOUNCED.........WINNER WINS THAT MONTHS CONTEST.......WE ALL GO "CONGRATULATIONS".......

                     REAPEAT FOLLOWING MONTH

SCREENSHOT CONTEST.......POST YOUR SHOT........JUDGES VOTE......WINNER ANNOUNCED.........WINNER WINS THAT MONTHS CONTEST.......WE ALL GO "CONGRATULATIONS".......

........AND SO ON.....AND SO ON.....AND SO ON......

Let's go people!

Sounds like a good plan Fly2e will pete put a seperate thread for this so we can all start this thing off.

PS I think anybody that would like to participate in this contest should post a final picture in FS2002 to mark the end of that sim and then when FS2004 comes out they can do the same to kind of introduce it.

So what we want from people is a screenshot to sum up FS2002!!

Thats my idea - take it or leave it.

Thats a good idea!
First contest should be...... "A Tribute to FS2002". Even if you are not getting FS2004, it could be your best shot of 2002!
WHO REALLY CARES WHO WINS ANYWAY  ?

It is just a way for all of us to see "what we think" are good pictures.
Pete should just open a new forum so all can view the shots but only judges vote. This way everybody can see the ONE picture for that months contest that each individual submits.

In a way, it would be cool to just look at submitted shots that people think are great compared to scrolling through endless pictures.

HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete starts the new....SCREENSHOT CONTEST FORUM over in the Graphic gallery.
Start the thread...Post the rules, One shot PER MEMBER per month, anything you like, nobody can post comments, only the author when posting,..maybe a breif summary of what it is and why he/she likes it, judges view all the shots over the designated time table, (month), judges Make make decision before he last day of the month and ....................
There you go,.we had a screenshot contest!!!!!!!

I think alot of people who find the gallery not so interesting, might even like this, they can pop in, see great shots, and pop out. Who knows, maybe people who don't even take shots might start to see an interest in it!

Dave 8)

I myself am really busy at home, so the judges should be able to just view the shots over the month, maybe individually submitt the results to, "Pete or whoever, BE58D" and they can announce the winner...this way the judges do not even know!!!

FEEDBACK....August is just around the corner! With all the new forums starting up, Pete should be able to do this fairly quickly....

Thanks for your time and I await further comments!

Dave

It could easily happen!

All that's needed are the following. (1st it would be run here - in the Gallery & only from existing active members - to keep out folk coming in just to enter the competition..)

1. One guy to ofer to be overall in charge
2. 5 volunteers to be judges (these could easily be selected)
3. Max 50 Entries per month. One per person. Anyone cheating frazzled.
4. Some simple Rules (forget about hardware advantages  - that's just life.... )
5. When 50 entries received contest closes for 3-5 days when decisions are made.



Where's the problem?  Cheesy
