It's time for another Screenshot Competition!Here's how it works:
At the start of each competition, the rules will be stated in the first post and any changes from the
standard set of rules will be shown in
bold for emphasis, along with the Theme and the Deadline. The Theme is a word, phrase, or description that each entry is based on and will set the basis for judging at the end of the competition. Each user can submit one (1) screenshot each. When the deadline is up, the topic will be locked. A new poll will be created soon after the competition ends so that voting can begin.
Rules:- Every entry must be the user's own work. (It cannot be downloaded from another website)
- Unless otherwise stated, it must be a screenshot from "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
- It can not be edited, color adjusted, or enhanced in any way (Especially, photo or graphics editing programs)
- You can resize, crop, and scale as necessary to get it to a reasonable screensize and filesize, as long as you're not attempting to enhance the image in the process, as that would violate the previous rule.
- You are allowed to re-use a screenshot you previously posted on the boards, as long as it follows all other rules and has never been used in any other competition before. (especially this one, of course)
- No off topic posting in the Competition topic. (Open discussion will be allowed in the Screenshot Competition Discussion topic)
- No profanity, offensive language, or adult situations. (All forum rules still apply here.)
- If you have any active mods in the scene (especially user-mods that affect the textures, clothing, or visual quality of the game), please list them in the text of your submission.
- Please include basic information about your general location in Cyrodiil (nearest city; name of the cave, fort, or Ayleid Ruin; or questline) and, if you would like to, add a brief description of why you feel your picture fits the theme.
This Competition's Theme is TerrorGo into Oblivion (or Cyrodiil) and take a picture (screenshot) of anything that best represents the concept of "Terror". Post it here and see who's picture is the best. Just do your best to capture the essence of the theme in the most creative way possible. There are plenty of terrifying things in Cyrodiil. Capture the essence of one of them or a scary combination of many. As you might guess, the theme this time around has a lot to do with the horror-loving holiday that happens on the deadline of this competition in many countries:
Halloween.
[Note (from thesaurus.com): "terror is stronger than horror, though it usually lasts for a shorter time."]We'll have only three weeks to take screenshots for this one. Hopefully, the shorter timeframe will keep it fresh in your mind and motivate you to get some great entries in on time. The deadline is

(4:00pm PST; midnight GMT; 10am the next day in Australia)When the competition is over for the week the topic will be locked and a new poll will be created so we can all vote for a winner. Remember, only one entry each, so make it a good one. Since the competition is a long one, if you want to post a new entry your previous entry (in this same competition) will need to be deleted in order to replace the old one. So, if you post an entry and want it replaced but time ran out on editing the old one (24 hours), just post a second one, making sure to make a note that it is your new entry. I, or another moderator, will kindly delete your first entry for you. Feel free to repost your original entry on another appropriate board if you'd like. Good luck and have fun, everyone! Let's make it a good one.
