Screenshot Contest 2010

It’s baaaaaaaaack!

That’s right, the now-annual TheVille.Org Screenshot Contest is back for a repeat performance thanks to the grand success of last year! With over 25 entries last year, our hope is to make this year’s bigger and better. More entries, more humour, and even more prizes! What’s not to love!

Like last year, this is all about how trigger happy you are on that screenshot button - I’m sure that most of you have pictures piled up in all your game directories of pure comedy gold. However, this time around, we’re looking for a little bit more specific humour than last time. Namely, we’re looking for pictures that when you see them, you instantly are thinking “How embarrassing”. Whether it’s just a really impressive kill that you got, someone got on you, or even just doing something that would cause people to laugh specifically *at* them rather than with them. All in good fun though, of course!

Submissions are now closed. Judging will occur within the next few days, with details on the public vote to come out sometime this weekend.

Album of Entries!

Judging:

This time around, there will be two stages of judging. Like last time, we’re going to have three very wise, intelligent, and diverse judges doing the initial round of judging. They will rate each entry out of ten, with six point for humour/creativity when it comes to the theme, and four points for originality. That will determine the top five entries for the second round of judging. The second round of judging will be done by YOU, TheVille community!

Prizes!

Well, if you’ve managed to read through this post already, understand the rules and are already itching to go through your screenshot directory, let’s sweeten the deal for you. Thanks to our wonderful overlord administrator sgt. stutter, we have more prizes than we can keep in the prize shed!

1st Place: 10,000 forum points, 3 month Gold Supporter Status AND a $40 spending spree at the Steam Store!
2nd Place: 5000 forum points, 3 month Silver Supporter Status AND a $20 spending spree at the Steam Store!
3rd Place: 1000 forum points, 3 month Bronze Supporter Status AND a $10 spending spree at the Steam Store!

That’s a heckuva lotta goodies! So what’re you waiting for? Go out there, look for some hilarious shots to send in, and have fun!
Have a question about or an idea for a Ville event?

It's a good thing I keep screen shots for ever.
Probably because I'm too lazy to get around to deleting them. . .

Sent one in.
I doubt it will ever be used due to the graphic nature of the subject...

That was something we discussed, but decided against, as we wanted to keep things focused on a single cohesive category.

That said, it also was brought up that it could be something to occur after the judging, with a contest to caption the winner, or a similar effort.

I'm sure as long as it's obvious you're in a real game (I'm assuming we can still see your characters arm and weapon) and not just GModding, it should be fine.

You don't need to do any blurring, the committee has staff on it that will remove all HUD elements or otherwise that could lead the picture back to you :)

Submission LAUNCHED!

Also, I like the idea of having supporter status as a prize. It's like a company giving away its own products in a sweepstakes!
