[x] Good day to all. This is a contest that which is very much different from all the other general contests. Only this contest, you have to be more creative with a limited amount of choices that are offered to you.
[x] The name of the game: As it is, it is called the Screencapture Contest, and as you may have noticed there are rounds to this contest meaning I will continue with contests in the same routine [with variables...well..varying.
]
[x] Basically I will provide one or more screencaptures of various things. Whether it be Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, a picture of a book, or a landscape capture. You will then use those screencaptures to make your graphic [avatar, banner, etc.].
Rules:
- You must only use the screencaptures given to you.
- You must use them to make the required graphic (ie. Round: Avatar)
- Your entry must be a newly made entry. [Preferably with some kind of signature.]
- There will be no limit to the entries, as long as it is entered by the date. Any entry given latter the date will be shown and recognized but will not be included in the judging (unless given a very good reason as to why you entered late).
[x] Judging: Judging the graphics will be up to other moderators and/or random members. However there will be no poll. I will survey individual people. There will be a 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and honorable mention. I've added another place called Host's Choice, because I always want a certain one to have an award.
[x] Awards: Will not be guranteed the best in the world. I will try and see if anyone will be willing to make the awards at the end of contests or I will do to the best of my ability to make them, though take my word for it, my skills suck and so does my paint program. Unfortunately due to the horrifying AU Crash of 2005, the awards and results were postponed and I don't intend to take this long to get the results out unless they're a second AU Crash of 2005.

Comments:
Everyone:
“Gosh, you guys all did such a good job! I changed my voting about 5 times before I finally decided. I congratulate everyone, they were really well done!” –Beriadanwen
“All the banners are unique in their own ways!” –Izzatee
“I think they were all very imaginative.” -WilliamMoseleyLuver
Amon_shi:
“Good job of taking so few pics and making the banner so full. The brushes you used are really cool! Overall, great job!” –Beriadanwen
“I love this banner. It's simply beautiful.” –Blueeyedgirl4God
“Me lovee! It's all... enchanted! The detail of text all over works so perfectly, the only thing is the text saying "I wish I could write about my feelings...".. A bit lighter font color perhaps. But I really loveth it. Nice work!” -Miremiel
Elenanna Lothendhel:
“Another great quote. Love the effects on the banner
” –ViviElessar
“Nice texture and brushes. I like that the positioning and the overall look is different from the others, it has a distinct style.” –Beriadanwen
“Very simple, yet it seems to contain so much. The font fits really well, and the font matches the background color. There is a bit of overweight to the right though.” - Miremiel
Dreia:
“Also well done, the starry things are nice. One thing I didn't like was the main text wasn't appealing...if it was just smoother or something.” –Beriadanwen
“Blended nicely, and very pretty.” –Blueeyedgirl4God
Maetharanel:
“The quote is perfect and the banner too.” –ViviElessar
“As usual, a beautiful entry from Mae. Great text and positioning. I love the simplicity, because it doesn't seem too busy, or too bare. Perfecto, my number one choice!” -Beriadanwen
~Shieldmaiden~:
“I loved this one because it used a different color and the brushes are great.” -ViviElessar
“Definately stood out from the rest! Way different, all pretty and blue! Nice butterfly brushes.” –Beriadanwen
“I love blue! Alright
, all the colors just really match, the wings are adorable and all. The only thing is, that it looks a bit confusing at first look.” - Miremiel
Johnny's Fan:
“My one crique is that it's too monotone, if there was more contrast I think it could look really good. Great text, and good colour scheme if it just varied within that colour a bit more.” -Beriadanwen
Gilraen Ringeril:
“Gilraen Ringeril - This one is pretty original. Love the text on the diary.” –ViviElessar
“Hehe, great diary entry
The dear diary thing was something that no one else did and I really liked it! Very cute, and fun. Great touch with the ink splotches.” –Beriadanwen“Gorgeous, and has a very nice personal touch. : )” –Blueeyedgirl4God
Ellethwen:
“Nice and simple! I really like it, great job!” –Beriadanwen
“Very well done. Very mysterious and beautiful.” –Blueeyedgirl4God
“Well. My first thought when I saw this banner was "Tolkien!".” -Miremiel
