Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition! This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG. Here you can share your weekly themed TSC screenshots using any 3rd party / post shot editing etc. creations which are not allowed in the official competition. Rules: TSC only shots allowed. Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. Otherwise anything goes. You can enter up to 3 screenshots, posted as separate posts. You can delete and replace if you wish. 3rd party content / Re-shades / Reskins etc. are welcomed but are not mandatory. Previous week's winner to decide winner (can't enter themselves). The winner chooses the new theme for next week (and becomes the new judge). The Judge of the week's decision is final. We strongly discourage any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributor. This is a light hearted & fun contest! This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and we hope it will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries will close at 10PM GMT on Saturday, July 12th 2025 and will be judged by me - Blazin In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, July 13th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll. The theme for this week is: Yards Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish. Good luck to you all.

Thank you three for submitting screenshots this week! Here are the results! In 3rd Place is this scenic and atmospheric shot of a small railway yard in the Newton Stewart area! In 2nd Place is triznya.andras with this dark night-time shot in Portsmith with just enough light to highlight the railway yard aspects and nicely contrasted with the passing passenger train and the miriad of public buildings in the background. In 1st Place is this wonderful shot by SpeedyGinger of a Class 37 near Great Yarmouth!! I love the feel of the ovegrown yard and surrounding trees, rusty tracks and older wagon and locomotive equipment with a clear blue sky. Congratulations to SpeedyGinger looking forward to your weeks theme!
Looks like SpeedyGinger isn’t around to choose a theme for next week so when I get home later I’ll set up next weeks contest with the backup theme when I get home. If they eventually come back they can takeover judging responsibility for the backup theme week.
New thread for Week 28 is up! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-28.92640/
