[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:
“All the banners are very different which is great as some entries can be similar. The banners represent each person's distinctive style and it was difficult to choose between them.” –Johnny’s Fan
Elenanna Lothendhel:
“Nice blending. I don't know if I would've colored it blue, tho
And the stars are a bit out of place, but the banner is still very nice!:)”-Gilraen Ringeril“I really like the simplicity of this banner and the fact you haven't smothered it with brushes and textures. I also like the blue/purple colour you've used. The stars add a nice touch.” –Johnny’s Fan
Idrial:
“I like how you kept it at a muted color scheme with the brownish black. It's a bit empty in the middle, but I like how you have DREAM there.” –Gilraen Ringeril
“It's not too crowded and the colour gives it a nice effect, beautiful entry!” –Bubble Black
“Another simple but effective banner with a simple and effective colour scheme. I like the fact your banner is not crowded so is pleasing to look at. I also like the way the word "Dream" is sort of faded.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Nice and simple - my favorite!
Very good job blending and text positioning.” -Maetharanel
Amon_shi:
“Nice orange coloring! Not a color I would expect, but nice all the same.” –Gilraen Ringeril
“The orange effect gives it an overall warm feeling and again the pictures were chosen well!” –Bubble Black
“The pictures are well assembled but for me the text doesn't work well with the rest of the banner and I think the colour scheme is a little too bright for my taste.” –Johnny’s Fan
evenstar of mirkwood:
“Beautiful blending! I like the way you colored it.
The border is also a nice touch.” – Gilraen Ringeril
“I LOVE the text on this one! The banner is very touching with the pictures you have chosen as well.” –Bubble Black
“The banner is a little bit crowded but I like the use of colours, it looks black and white but somehow it isn't. The border is a nice effect and the text blends well with the images.”-Johnny’s Fan
“I really like how you added color to the pics, and used so many without it feeling over-crowded. My only problem with it is that the text looks kind of... rough...
But aside from that, I like it :grin: ” -Maetharanel
Eldarwen:
“Nice blending and coloring! The only suggestion I have is to make the text a bit more readable
” –Gilraen Ringeril“This is a very nice entry, the colour is pretty and the text blends in well with the banner.” –Bubble Black
“The pictures are well blended and nicely assembled and I like the blue colour you've used. The text is easy to read although I'm not sure the font suits the banner.” –Johnny’s Fan
“Once again, wonderful job blending! I like the turquoise-y tint a lot, too - it makes the whole banner feel like it goes together... if that makes sense.
” -Maetharanel
