Personally I'd stick to MSFS

Sounds fair enough to me.

Seeing the volume of entries for the normal screenshot comps I'd probably go for one shot per entrant...

Quote:

I agree with being done specifically for the comp. but maybe reduce that to just the edit being new
For example : BananaBob's 2nd placed Seaking, if he were to enter THAT SPECIFIC edit, we could disqualify it, but if he were to re-edit it differently - it would be acceptable.
Same with un-edited screenies, even if they were posted in 1906 - if they were edited in some way they could be acceptable.

I mean, not many would re-enter the same shot several times simply because :
1) It wouldn't really test their skills
and
2) It wouldn't show us what they're capable of

As for the rest of the rules.......... Looking good from my side.
Although, Nitro's idea of the judges calling/asking for the original if there's any doubt over an entry, is a very good idea
And I agree with MS games only (From '95 through to '04 Via Combat series, the choice is yours)

Also to avoid any claims of favouritism, maybe we should avoid choosing the same person two consecutive months

Cheers, can't wait.....

A revised set, based on the comments made, i've removed the first rule entirely as we dont actually have a prize  and im sure the persons style of editing would show them up in multiple entries anyway

The Rules:

Any contestant judged to have violated these rules will be disqualified.   
 
Please start a thread for your entries with the following format:
Entry for unofficial Edits Contest *year* / *month* by *name* 

eg

Entry for unofficial Edits Contest 2005 / March by Igorski
 
 
1. Contests will run from the first of the month, until the 21st of the month (aprox 3 weeks). Entries submitted after Midnight of the the 21st GMT will not be accepted. Judging will occur after the 21st and the results, and any criteria for the next comp will be announced before the 1st of the new month.

2. Once an entry is submitted, it may not be withdrawn.  This is to keep the confusion to a minimum, and to maintain forum integrity.  Entries may be withdrawn from the contest, but no additional entries from that member will be accepted.
 
3. Base screenshots may be taken from any MS Flight sim, and are not limited to freeware aircraft, you must edit the shot in some way.   
   
4. Only 2 entries per member.   
   
5. Any particular edit must be produced specially for use in this contest, but the same base image may have been taken at any time, and can be re-used if you wish.
   
6. All images must be within proper forum guidelines.  Any images over 100 kb in weight and greater than 800 pixels wide will not be considered. 

7. No-one can be forced to judge 

8. No-one who judges can enter the competition 

9. Anyone wishing to judge in the next comp must make announce this in their entry 

-- end of rules --

I agree with jusges being able to request the base screenshot if in doubt. As for the winner being the judge of the next comp, see rule 7, we can request that they offer their support by judging, also this removes any 'favouritism' issues, but if the same person made two darn good edits, in two consecutive months, they they should deserve the credit?

YES!
Right,
Rules : Current ones seem fair, yet strict enough to me
Also we should look into adding a list of GUARANTEED judges for every month (like myself), that way we can go with the idea of entrants PM'ing one of us, just to make sure their entry isn't missed

Topic : Maybe something simple like, Default Aircraft? or one you rarely see : Helo's?

Cheers,

Carl

heh.. modern millitary


Cant u make a private account that only the judges know?
Then u can except all pm's

I know u can do multiple PM's aswell..
Dunno about this forum..

Quote:


After a few comps, and changes of judges lots of people know it... I think just allocating one judge to receive PM's is best, We need to make it clear in the sticky that it may change each month! (ie the receiver from the previous month: expect PMs from people who dont know it may have changed! and please refrain from having a go at them, a gentle push towards looking at our sticky each month will do fine.)

Also my vote goes with modern mil, but we need to make sure we change each month, or me and t'other Andy will do modern mil every month  

Ps, thanks for voluenteering Nitro, we'll get back to you if we need you to help 

Ok so topic is modern military, Carl if your ok to receive PM's then just shout, otherwise one of the other judges will need to voulenter, a list of all the judges would be useful too, so we know who's doing what and who cant enter.
