Contest Screenshot Contest + Guidelines

Recommended Posts

Ylanders, get your screenshotters ready!  

Today we’re announcing our first contest. In this post, we’ll also be outlining the requirements and guidelines of how to take part in this and future contests.  

So first of all, what’s it all going to be about? Our weekly contest will be of screenshots. Every week on Monday we’ll announce a theme of a screenshot we’d like to see from the community on Twitter, Instagram and the Forum and then it is up to you Ylanders to send us your most impressive shots. Of course, originality will be the main criteria, but another important aspect will be the photographic composition and technique ?

Sometimes screenshots make themselves

You’ll have till Friday 10am CET to submit your best shots and you can submit up to three screenshots into the contest. You can either submit the screenshots into the Forum post announcing the contest or on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #Pycs and/or # YlandsPycs . On Friday Marci, Ales and I will sit down and pick the best screenshot to proclaim as the winner. The winner will be announced on Sunday in a blaze of glory! And the prize you might ask? A pile of coyns (2200 coyns)!   

Now a few basic rules to get us going:  

- Nothing offensive or rude  

- Your own original screenshots made by yourself  

- Good quality screenshots only (no Yetti and Loch Ness monsters all out of focus and pixelated...unless on purpose ??)  

- Submitted on Twitter and Instagram under the hashtag mentioned above or on the Forum post announcing the contest for that week.  

And while in other weeks there is always going to be a theme, to really give you the freedom to be creative, this week it is a free-for-all. Anything goes and the best Ylander wins ? So start sending and don’t forget to add the hashtag #Pycs and/or #YlandsPycs !!!

Hype :D

Ill be sending in a few :D

 

Looking forward to them ? But choose wisely, because only three allowed and this will be the only free-for-all for a long time, so you can really be broad with your themes ?

Red ..yes  on the  P1  na  server.....   theres  2 bases  side by side,  mine and  Eviltwin's  ..they are joined underground  by a plethora  of underground tunnels  and  storage   chambers...a  co operative  effort.  Basically,  all the  surrounding  cliff  /hillsides  are  hollowed out  into  underground  caverns .. theres  room   and a nice bay on the other side  for  anyone  else to build  and " join" in.

Also  theres  so e really  deep  monster filled  caverns  down  deep ...    enter if you dare!  :)

Yep, just stick them here for a chance to win! ☺️ Also you don't have to post 3 screenshots. One is enough, because only one wins ?

And just a reminder for the rest, only the person, that took the screenshot wins the prize, though of course we will credit the creators of the object itself in the description ?

Mines a work in progress, but shows how blueprints can be used in game. This build can be found on Red's P1 server. Feel free to pop in and say Hello :)

@Adam Snellgrove  Are we allowed to do any editing? Like a filter? Coming in with a second take later - going for the win here! 

He didn't say we couldn't.  I did correct this pic too. 

I'm also here from P1
