[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 (meaning any number of people may enter), 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: The voting/judging will now be publicly available however the voter must PM me with their votes/comments rather than posting it.

[x] Awards: Awards still are not guaranteed the best in the world. I've gotten better with Photoshop so I've gotten into the habit of making awards for every round.

COMMENTS++++
>>>>>> <b>Everyone</b> :: “I love the brightness of everyone's icons! ” –Gilraen Ringeril

“The first thing I noticed about your icons/avatars is the way you cropped them. The positioning is unique and very well done. The coloring is quite beautiful actually, the only thing that I might have changed is the fonts you used for the text. On icons, simple fonts normally work best. Other then that, wonderful job!” –Limwen – Villya
“Oh I just love all of them....icons are so cool! My favourite is your Ginny one (how I know her name is beyond me!) "Don't mess with me" sounds so cool! Great job Nurr, I love them all!” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>Amoniel</b> :: “I really like the overall look of your avatars and the arrangement of the text and brushes. The black-and-white Luna one is my absolute favourite of the three. Beautiful avvies!” –Rose of Rivendell
“I really love the second icon, though both the others are beautiful as well.
You did a good job with the coloring, and used a clean simple font. Leaving you room to add brushes and etc. Great job!” –Limwen – Villya
“They're all so pretty! Your...uh....what's her name.....ugh....Herimone? Anyway, I really like that one....it's so pretty with the blue! I really like them all. ” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>Pearl Evenstar</b> :: “Wow! I really like the textures you've used, because they give the avatars an overall dark and mysterious look. Great job!” –Rose of Rivendell
“Beautiful colouring and cropping - they're flawless!” –Sisilcal
“Very simple icons yet they look amazing. This is an example that less is better” –ViviElessar
“Gorgeous icons! They were the first to catch my eye. Clean and simple, yet with beautiful coloring. I love the blur effect you used, and the text has great positioning. There is nothing I would have done different on these!” –Limwen – Villya
“I really like all the coloring on all of yours....they all look amazing with the black and selective coloring. Great work!” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>ViviElessar</b> :: “Your avatars look really nice because of their intese colours. They attract the viewer's attention. I really like the black-and-white Luna one with the colourized earring.” –Rose of Rivendell
“The Luna one really caught my eye - I really love how her earring stands out and the text matches!” –Sisilcal
“I love your icons, all of them! They are always so creative, yet never over done! I love the text you used on these, and I really love the way you did your Luna icon. Wonderful job!” –Limwen – Villya
“Oh I love how bright all your colors are! They're all so unique. You're an excellent....iconist. Great work!” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>Riniel Anariel</b> :: “Wow! I really love the overall look of your avatars. The colour effects/textures you've used make them really interesting. Amazing job!” –Rose of Rivendell
“I love the effects you used on the Luna and Ginny icons, they're fantastic! Good job!” –Sisilcal
“I love the colors and the textures used. The Luna one looks very original” -ViviElessar
“Again, someone with great cropping! I think you did a wonderful job with your Ginny icon. The way you have it centered but all cropped is great. And then you used the blur effect all around it. Lovely work!” –Limwen – Villya
“Ooooh such pretty colors! I really like the Luna one...the colors are so cool! You did a great job on all of them.” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>Johnny's Fan</b> ::
“Wow! I really love the faded colours of your avatars. The arrangement of pics, the patterns, the textures, the brushes and the text – it all fits together perfectly. Wonderful entries!” -Rose of Rivendell
“The colors on the icons look great and the fonts used go great with each icon” –ViviElessar
“What can I say? Good, clean icons, not over or under done. Gorgeous icons!” –Limwen – Villya
“I really love the blue color on all of your icons. They're all just....perfect. I love the coloring on all of them, very clear, very nice. ” –Elven Archer

>>>>>> <b>Leggieluver</b> :: “Your avatars look pretty interesting because of the pretty unusual, but nevertheless very beautiful colour effects. They really attracted my attention. Very good job!” –Rose of Rivendell
“Unusual, but lovely! The Hermione one is especially eye catching ” –Sisilcal
“You used such pretty colors for the icons. The Ginny one looks simple but gorgeous.” –ViviElessar

How were they editted?

Kit, I would say yes. This is the Screencap Contest, and I do not believe ScreenCaps are supposed to be editted.

Kit, they were edited because this guy is a clothing person and he made some clothes..or something like that and he said that with photoshop he made him look like jack..so that was my concern as well..we should just change the top 2
