Is there an edited screenshot competition? As far as i know there is the screenshot contest but that doesnt allow edits. If anyone is interested in starting one then... well, say!

Yup defo! Kinda complex to run but i would be up for it.

Maybe we could just go with the theme for the normal screen shot comp, but just 'let anything go' as such??

We tried this a LONG time ago, never picked up.  We had a contest and entries were made in this forum and then put in a poll at the end.  But after the first one no one really participated, and it just died out.  I guess people really do enter for the prize and not the fun.. :-/

Yeah, it'd be good fun but (as you said) people are more in it for the prize.

Good Idea!!

A little bit of marmalade never hurt anyone... ;D

A poll has just appeared in the suggestions forum. If enough are interested then I'd be happy to give a little of my time. :)

Maybe we could have a little comp in one thread by using thumbnails?

Sounds like fun to me!!

Just located the last comp - I remember why I stopped now - I lost my broadband connection and wasn't going to sit on dial up every day waiting for screenshots to download ;D

...the reason it stopped is that some of the judges had other pressures outside of SimV that didn't allow for it to be run efficiently, particularly as it was run inside the edited screenshots forum (so one had to find the entries first). There wasn't a poll either - it involved a "head judge" bashing the other judges heads together to find the winner!.
You've basicaly said the pressures on the judges heads was also inside SimV and we had a bunch of addle-brained judges? ;)

Tell me about it; much of anything linking to videos or large pictures take forever so I don't view much of it anymore.:P
