I would like to enter the Screen shot contest but I do not know how to take a screen shot.  Which makes it kind of difficult to enter a screen shot contest.

press the V key 

happy holidays!

In flight push "V". This takes the shot.
Your screenshots will show up in Start/Pictures/Flight Simulator X Files, if you're using Windows
When you take a shot for the contest try to make sure there is no red text in the shot (like when you change views or pause the game. The Pause banner won't go away until you un-pause but, the view info will go

Okay, Thanks. I just took a beautiful screen shot and entered it in to the contest.

Also, there is a small, easy to use freeware program called "Irfanview" that will easily enable you to resize, reduce file size etc for your screen shot. "Irfanview" is a must have IMO  and has been a well respected program for many years. "Irfanview" also has a screenshot function.

Use 'ingame Anti-Aliasing' and always "pause" before pushing "V" - gives you time to look things over.

I use a free ware program "snapper". I like it because it records the location of the screen-shot.
If interested google it to find it.
