July Screencap Writeup

So I'm the new host of the Screencap Contest.. and boy do I have some fun things planned! First, however, you need to know some of the changes.

The biggest change is that by entering you are now putting your reputation on the line.. in the form of badges! The winner of the month gets this badge.

The badge is removed and placed on the winner of the following month. So... if you want to prove you are the best at getting screens, you need to keep that badge multiple months in a row! Now, since we are starting this mid-year, all previous month-winners will get the badge this month. At the end of the year, the points are tallied up. Whoever won the most months gets this badge for a WHOLE YEAR!

Wow! So if you manage to keep that badge for multiple years.. you are most definitely the Screencap King. (Yes, this is a challenge.) But Mjn, you say, what if no one has won more than one month in a year? Well... then the best screenshot from all 12 winners will be chosen and that person crowned king with the Golden Badge of Screencap Glory. (That's the official name.)

Now with that explained... here's how you can win. Be sure to check the new [url=http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Screencap_Contest]Wiki article[/url]. It lists all the things I am looking for in screens to be deemed winners. Especially check the [url=http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/]article[/url] I linked to in that list. It's really good. The Wiki article will also have a [url=http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Screencap_Contest#2013_Screencap_Season]section showing off the Year's winners so far[/url].

Finally.. I know I have a winning screen in the 2013 season. While it will remain on the list.. I will be ineligible to win any further months or even the 2013 year. The cost of being your most favoritest host, I suppose. Now, without further ado...

[size=14pt]This month's theme is... [b]Turrets![/b][/size] Ready... Aim... FIRE! As always, check out the [url=http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=82173.0]Screencam Script[/url] to help you capture that perfect [s]memory[/s]... moment of violence.
