    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, August 23rd 2025 and will be judged by me - Craigie-C

    In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, August 25th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll.
    The theme for this week is: Road / Rail Crossings
    Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish.
    Good luck to you all.
