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.
  • Include a text description of your general location in Cyrodiil (nearest city; name of the cave, fort, or Ayleid Ruin; or questline) and a brief description of why you feel your picture fits the current theme.

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.

This Competition's Theme is Arena
Go into Oblivion (or Cyrodiil) and take a picture (screenshot) of something that best captures what the "arena" is all about. Post it here and see who's picture best fits the theme. Just do your best to capture the essence of the theme in the most creative way possible. We will have just over three weeks to take screenshots this time. Don't forget to enter before the deadline. Winners will have their image displayed for the world to see, so get out there and create an entry. The deadline is Saturday 30 January 2010 at 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST; midnight GMT; 10am the next day in Australia)

Good luck and have fun, everyone! Let's make this a great one.

Defeat in the Arena is painful, if only for a moment.


This is in the Imperial City Arena (obviously).
I feel the emphasis on defeat adds a bit of interest and tells a story about the life and death in the arena.
[Also, I won 200 gold on that fight. Smiley ]


If you have an entry to post before the deadline, post it. It would be impossible to match another person's entry pixel for pixel, so it'll be different in some way. The maximum number of entries possible is preferred around here. How it is and isn't similar or if it's good, how to improve... etc. all that comes later. It's all for fun, don't worry about it.

I'll come back and post my 3 alternate/runner-up entries in the Screenshot Competition Discussion topic later. You should post what you would have entered there too... or, heck, just post them in the OSC30. It was a non-vote disqualification so now the forum is pretty much open for would-have-been entries, like Igiss'.
