[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 me, 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.
[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.

...

...
Our 3rd Place Winner: Riniel Anariel ___________Our Honorable Mention: *'Synariel'*
P.S.: Once again, Thenidiel graciously made these beautiful awards for the winners. Don't forget to thank her!
P.P.S.: If you do not see the picture awards, either give it time to load or check on it later, my image-host is photobucket and it can be VERY annoying.
P.P.P.S.: I didn't realize this until the conteset was closed that Tinnuhiriel's entry was above the banner size that was given of 700x150. I let her slide on this one, but I won't later on --- must catch those entries!!

Comments:
Everyone:
"I feel awful being so critical, because I doubt I could do a decent job to save myself! Overall, though, they all have reasonable choice of images, blurring, placing (etc), and perhaps have gone a bit too over board with the special effects." - Herenya
"Everyone showed excellent talent." -Sidawethiel
"As for the rest, I love them all which made it difficult to choose. I wish everyone the best of luck." - arwenevenstar
"Everyone else did a good job as well!" - Elenanna Lothendhel
"Great job all of you guys! It was extremely hard to choose, but somebody had to go as numero uno." - ErulissëEnethNîn
"Wow! So hard to choose! Everyone did such a wonderful job!" -Thenidiel
"All of these banners were
beautiful!!! It took me absolutely forever to decide which ones to put up there, and I voted according to originality, coloring, text, font, and the layout of the graphic. Thanks for letting me in on the fun! I wish I could make graphics like these guys can!!" - StardomeGirl

[i]“I think there's something contrived about it. It's nice, but not... my style. If one's allowed to have a "style" of banner...â€
