[PropellerEar]

IconEra's monthly game screenshot competition (September)​
Fancy yourself as a bit of an artist do you? Well then, this is the perfect thread for you. Welcome to Icon-era's first official Screenshot competition. We are looking for eagle-eyed gamers to produce the best of high-quality screen captures. Find us something unique, find us something amazing and you might find yourself walking away with a monthly prize.​
​	This months prize is a 50$ Amazon gift card / voucher, we will do our best to provide an alternative currency amount if the users local choice is unavailable. i.e Amazon / Paypal etc. Prizes can change on a monthly basis.
For this month's competition, there is no set theme, and your choice of game/screenshot type is totally up to you. For next month's competition we might have theme and limited list of applicable games. Our plan is for monthly winner entries to also participate at the end of the year in a Final, to choose the IconEra screenshot champion. This months screenshot competition will be active from 1st of September to 30th of September. You can use https://imgbb.com to upload your screen captures. Copy the full bbcode and paste it.	Rules: Only one entry allowed All formats are welcome. Only in-gameplay play scenes captures. You can edit your entry as many times you want before we lock the thread for judging on the last day of the month. We want your best effort, so choose wisely. No comments to be included anywhere in regards to your entry. Screen capture needs to be your own and not copied from the internet or another person. Discussion in the thread is allowed Staff & Founders are allowed to participate Judging to be held by a VIP person, outside of IconEras inner circle. Good taste, no NSFW pictures, no offensive symbols and no discriminative or mocking content of any marginalized group of people e.g Building a huge dick in Minecraft and posting screenshot of that will get you excluded. Building Nazi symbol out of those dicks and posting screenshot of that will get you banned. No watermarks or text with username in the Screenshots

We have a Winner!
We had total of 15 screenshots, a big thanks to all members that participated in the competition.

Man, it should be several people wanting to participate in this. If you win, you can *almost* pay for a free game.

That is a good question and since we don't have many entries yet, what do you think @Sircaw and @PropellerEar ? My vote is for in-gameplay screens only.

I think that sounds more than fair

If we go for in cutscene screenshots, then we might end up with few of the same entries and the only skill is to snap at the right time. No composition and stuff

But it’s up to you. I’ve got plenty of those too !!

Yeah agree gameplay screens only.
Will append that into the rules.

You should be banned from submitting screenshots, i still remember the screenshots you took that looked better than my review ones for the "the evil within 2"

Bargain Basement Reviews: The Evil Within 2

Bargain Basement Reviews With Game-pass and Sony's subscription models being all the buzz these days, I thought it would be a good idea to look at what was on offer to people that did not subscribe to those services. Let's be honest here, The 500 games for around ten bucks a month might sound...

I hope we are going to get some screenshots from some of our more boisterous Xbox users, @adamsapple @Bernd Lauert @DynamiteCop @DarkMage619 , I am sure you guys can find at least a few shots within Gamepass's Libary.

And good-looking shots, not just Craig.

4 Pics of flight simulator inc or The last of us2 "Remaster" i know you guys love to talk about that game.
