Screenshot Competition - Beta Testing

Post by nick_6893 » Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:19 pm

Ok guys, the screenshot competition will begin within 1-2 weeks!!!!!!

What is the screenshot competition?
The screenshot competition will be a weekly competition of basically Ant and I picking out the best screenshot you have from any of the area 51 servers. The screenshot does not have to have a theme, it can be whatever as long as it was done in the server.

Awards?
Yes, awards will be given for the top picture and depending on how many people who submit a picture will determine the amount of winners. More submissions, more possible winners. Awards will be additional access to special commands through the deathrun server. (Different stuff than donators)

How to submit a screenshot?
You must be REGISTERED with Area 51 Forums!
Then go to profile settings, scroll down and input your STEAMID. Below you will have to input the hyperlink the steam screenshot. ONLY STEAM screenshots will be accepted.

Example of what the hyperlink should look like:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 05FC03ADB/
*Note: You would think it should have a file extension, for steam screenshots, they don't have one.

If it is not in that format, you will not be considered when we are judging.

You can always change the hyperlink if you decide to change.

How to view the gallery of everyone's pictures
The site is still in beta mode but most of the work is done.
Still working with the layout but pulling up everyone's picture should work.
http://area51cheatserver.com/contest.php
You can click on an image to magnify!
Also, if you did it right, your steamid should show up in a highlight tab.

Start testing it out :P The images should form in 5 columns and infinite rows to show everyone's screenshot.

I will post a new topic when the competition has started.

I just have a question.
Does the screenshot have to been taken that week where I want to enter the competition?

example: Maybe I want to join week 2. Do i then have to take the screenshot between week 1 and week 2? Or can the screenshot be like 5 weeks old? :)

Btw. To get the hyperlink simply rightclick on photo and then press "copy page URL"
