To qualify for this month's theme,
Your shot must include an aircraft of your choice

What better a prize than

THE RULES
Here are the rules... Any questions or comments should be directed to a judge and will be answered at the earliest available opportunity. Any contestant judged to have violated these rules will have his entry removed and be disqualified.
Please start a thread for your entries for each member...
Most of all, HAVE FUN!
Contest starts May 11, 2006
and ends June 5, 2006.
1.
This contest will run from May 11, 2006 until June 5, 2006.
Entries submitted after Midnight on June 5, 2006 EST will not be accepted. Judging will occur after June 5, 2006 and the
8 Finalists will be entered into the POLL
that will be posted soon after! Now the Members will cast their vote in the Poll to determine this month's winner!
2.
Open only to SimV forum members registered before
May 1, 2006.
This is to prohibit registering multiple user names to allow more entries. It is also enforced to keep people who are not regulars at this forum, from joining just to try to win the monthly prize! Sorry and better luck next time!
3.
All images Must BE 800 WIDE and NOT SMALLER THAN 600 HIGH!!
Since many machines run at higher resolutions, the 600 high rule has been eliminated! However, Your image may not be smaller than 800 X 600!
Example: A machine running at 1280X1024 will give you an image of 800X640 when reduced which is perfectly acceptable!
No cropping, editing or adjusting your shot!! Any images over 100 kb in weight, and being smaller than
800 wide and 600 high
will not be VALID! This rule is now being enforced since
This is a Screenshot Contest and we "want to see the RAW shot!"
All entries must be uploaded to SimV.
***
No linking to other sites is allowed and is STRICTLY ENFORCED!!
***
YOU CAN ONLY USE A FREEWARE SCREENSHOT CAPTURE PROGRAM!
Active Camera, Walk & Follow are NOT allowed!!
***
4.
ONLY ONE ENTRY PER MEMBER!
Each contestant must start their own thread in the Screenshot Contest forum with their shot!
Your
entry must be included in this thread.
5. Screenshots from FS98, FS2000, FS2002, FS2004, CFS series only please!!
6. Once an entry is submitted, it may not be withdrawn.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 Entries may be withdrawn from the contest, but no additional entries from that member will be accepted.
7.
Entries may be of freeware aircraft and scenery only!
This keeps the playing field even!
8. Entries may not be edited in any way. Any entry discovered to have been edited will be disqualified and the image removed from the contest.
9. All images must be produced specifically with the intent of entering them in this contest. No screenshots previously posted images or pre-contest images will be accepted.
10. After the contest has ended and the judges have decided on the "Finalists", a "POLL" type thread will be started entitled, "Screenshot Finalists, Vote Now!" It will explain that the Poll will be closed within 48 hours. You must note the
Post Time
of this thread to know when it will close! This will allow the members to now vote for their favorite shot from the ones the judges have picked!
11. After 48 hours from the time the Finalist Announcement is made, the POLL will be closed and the Winner announced!
A REQUEST
We would like to ask the Author of each screenshot, to please supply us with the name & designer of the Aircraft in your post. So many people always ask "what aircraft is that", and We think it would be very informative for many of us if it were right there under the shot!
Thanks...
Remember, You Signed...
The Oath!
Good Luck to All and Thanks for playing!
The Simviation Moderating Team

And if I was to find that a Gloster Meteor was used in WWII, I wouldn't be able to use it?
Anyhow, it's a nice theme. I'll prefer it to airliners, that's for sure!

NO
,
That is a new rule!!!!!!!!
It has been determined that allot of the people who just pop in here to compete and do not read the rules, are the ones that cause the most grief during the competition.
This contest was created for our users, not those who come here just to win a prize!
Last month there were over a dozen posts from newbies posting only to compete! They had only 1 post and seamed to have no regard for the site's guidelines and just posted a shot.
Then came the "That does not count, blah, blah, blah.."
I want to avoid it this time.
We are actually thinking for next month's comp to keep it still at the April 1, 2006 date therefore requiring TWO months prior registration before competing!
It will be simple, if somebody posts a shot who has not registered prior to April 1, 2006, it will simply be deleted!
No warnings, no edits of their post, a simple delete!
The reason, they obviously have not read the site rules!

I saw this myself and thought "That'll be a good rule - at least we'll have less of those 'I-need-me-a-prize-and-don't-care-about-SimV' (blashphemy!
) members playing"

I think it's a good rule and the only bad thing about it, is that you didn't thought about it before!

YAY, another great theme, what a contrast to last month!!
Now then, just got to get my picture worked out. I'm thinking a Learjet 45, set at Fly Tampa's Dubai scenery, in 400x1800 resolution taken with a really cool W&F angle. What do you think?
