[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.

P.S. Great round, guys! I didn't think there would be so many entries! It's difficult to finalize scores! But the winners deserved it and the participants also deserve an award.
P.P.S.: I actually made the awards this round because I needed to get it done and Theni was not reachable at the time.
P.P.P.S.: Image host is photobucket --- so if it's not working or if it's down try again later.

Comments:
Everyone:
“Overall Everyone did a wonderful job..I wish I could have picked several winners..” –Elenanna Lothendhel
“Good job to everyone, you did brilliantly!!” –Larael Greenleaf
“I just thought I’d mention that all of you did a fantastic job blending the pictures! However, It is kind of odd looking at the pictures I’ve taken and seeing them as backgrounds
Hehehe, I’m definitely saving all of these backgrounds…” –Sidawethiel
“This was another hard contest to judge as there is a good variety of unusual and eye catching designs. Excellent entries everyone!” –Johnny’s Fan
Sapphire:
<i>“The text went perfectly with her pictures which I thought were arranged very simply, and were very pleasing to the eye.” –Larael Greenleaf
“Yours is great! It’s something I’d expect to see on the cover of a sunset calendar…I really like how you contrasted the pictures.” –Sidawethiel
“I like this design as it is nice and simple but effective. Very pretty to look at.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Pandora:
“Her colour theme of blue is absolutely amazing! I love the colour blue for one, and it went so perfectly with the pictures of the sea.” –Larael Greenleaf
“it is really beautiful!! I love the glowy effect!!” –Amon_shi
“Yours makes me think I’ve strayed into a long forgotten memory… The mellow colors are lovely.” –Sidawethiel
“I really like this one. The colours are lovely and I like the main text and the background text. I'm not normally a fan of "boxed in" art but it works really well here. The butterflies are a nice touch.” –Johnny’s Fan
Elanor:
<i>“I love quotes and I love Emily Dickinson, that's all I have to say. It caught my attention immediately!” –Larael Greenleaf
“I love the effects in this banners coz it seems really dreamy, really mystic. The quote is spectacular too. Good job!” –Amon_shi
“I love how you blended the pictures together and used a great quote! I really like the effect you used on the dock!” –Sidawethiel
“The colours for this one are lovely pastel shades. I also like the blurring effect and the quote. But I think it needs a little bit more to it.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Gilraen Ringeril:
“Her's stood out from the others because of it's arrangment and colour. Instead of the darker colours there were bright pastel colours, and flowers. It was much different from the other's which is why I liked it a lot.
” –Larael Greenleaf
“I enjoy how you blended all the pictures together in the middle, I keep looking at it and discovering new images embedded in them….” –Sidawethiel
“This is a very unusual one. I like the fact you have tried to be different and used a nice amount of images but I think the pictures could have been bigger and there is perhaps too much space gone to waste.” –Johnny’s Fan
Tanthoroniel:
<i>“Her wallpaper is gorguoues, and the effects really help it.” –Elenanna Lothendhel
“It's really beautiful how it is blended. It seems as it was taken out from a photo album.” –Amon_shi
“I really like all the effects you used on your background. Also, I like how you used the pictures as Polaroids.” –Sidawethiel
“This has a nice "vintage" feel to it. I love the "cloth" texture and the brushes you have used. I also like the fact you can see some of the colour from the image seeping through but I'm not sure if the "photographs" were needed.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Bubble Black:
“Even though a few of the pictures are hard to see, I enjoy the effect you used on them.” –Sidawethiel
“This is another unusual one. The colours are very striking but I think perhaps there are too many images and the colours are a little bit too much.” –Johnny’s Fan
*~!!Katie!!~*
<i>“I like how you blended the two pictures together.” –Sidawethiel
“Another simple but very nice wallpaper. I like the way the sun is shining on the word Sun. I think it needs a little more to it though.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Beriadanwen:
“I really like the quote. I really like the muted colors and the effects you used.” –Sidawethiel
“A real eye-catcher. I really like the background effect and the lovely golden colour. I love the "chess board" effect with the squares. Even the smaller image works really well. The text is good and easy to read. The wallpaper just seems to glow.” –Johnny’s Fan
Jo:
<i>“I love the paper effect on the wallpaper (If that's what you'd call that effect)” –Elenanna Lothendhel
“This is very unique!! I have no idea how you could to make it, but the result is very beautiful!” –Amon_shi
“I love how random yours is. The effect you used on the picture it is great!” –Sidawethiel
“This is another unusual design! I like the text and the fact that your design really stands out . The colours on the image are nice but there's really not an awful lot of image to look at.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Merenwen:
“I like the different effects used on each picture, also the borders are very nice.” –Sidawethiel
“This really caught my eye! I love the fact you have used the gorgeous colour as the background rather than image. I like how you have changed the images to look like paintings etc, and I also like the frames. I love the way the butterfly looks like it's been carved out of stone. Beautiful!” –Johnny’s Fan
Maetharanel:
<i>“Lovely wallpaper…could have been a bit more clear for my taste, but otherwise it’s good.” –Elenanna Lothendhel
“I like the faded effects on the pictures. However, the font is a bit difficult to read….” –Sidawethiel
“This also has the "vintage" look. I like the pale golden colours and the way you have arranged the images. I found the text very hard to read though.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
Tinnuhiriel:
“I like the contrast in this background. I like the faded effect on the dock.” –Sidawethiel
“I really like the colours for this and the little brush details such as the stars really add to it. I also like the text but it's such a pretty design it probably didn't need them!” –Johnny’s Fan
Arëwen Telemnar:
<i>“The font is a bit blurry to read but I enjoy the poem nonetheless. Also, I enjoy how you blended the pictures together.” –Sidawethiel
“An unusual choice of verse. I like the fact the only real colour is a hint of red for the flowers.” –Johnny’s Fan</i>
~Shieldmaiden~:
“Her wallpaper was good...could have used a bit less blue for my taste.” –Elenanna Lothendhel
“Yours is so bright and blue! I like the effects you used…” –Sidawethiel
“I love the aqua colour and the brushes you have used on the corners. The mottled effect and the mirror image of the text is nice.” –Johnny’s Fan
