We're back!

Yes, I have some (more) time and would like to see if we had the interest in running this again. The new theme, as in the first post above, is work.

I have agreed this with Kamnet and he is happy to hand over back to me. If a moderator could lock the old August 2014 topic please that would be great.

Seamless transition :lol:

As always, I don't decide if a submission fits the theme. I leave it up to the vote in the hope that people will not vote for it if it doesn't fit the theme.

"Use of graphics programs to enhance screenshots (aka "Photoshopping") is permitted." So, Can I put vehicles, or peoples on the picture?

Submitted my entry. It's from the same map as this, but this won't be some tranquil tropical resort, it will be an industrial powerhouse that gives Tiger Island its namesake. Also it will be my first post-game edited screenshot, but it's only a few minor details.

I wanted to ask whether animated gif screenshots like these should be allowed, or if it would be considered cheating because it's technically multiple screenshots in one?

Alternately, it could be set as a theme, but not everyone might want to or be able to create an animated screenshot.

For the record, my current entry is not animated. :wink:

As you say it, I'm starting to think that the building up of an area is most definitely considered work, and since that, you would have an unfair advantage ahead of the rest of us :mrgreen:

Anyway, submissions should be closed now, according to the opening post.... :)

(by the way, if you win, you can set the next theme to be Timelapse :D )
