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, September 13th 2025 and will be judged by me - Craigie-C In the event of this week's winner not responding by 10PM GMT on Sunday, September 14th 2025, a new thread will be created using the results of this week's poll.

Sadly we have not a great deal of contributing screenshots to enjoy this week. On saying that can i thank both Blazin & paulc for taking the time and effort to provide some wonderfully themed shots. I could just chose a winner out of the two of you or maybe defer for another week with the added attraction of upping the limit to 5 shots per person I will be happy to agree to either option, it's up to you guys. Thanks again for your continued support.
Me personally I think choosing the results even if there is a fewer amount of submissions than desired is probably the way to go, I think it rewards those who choose to participate. Also may I ask the reasoning behind the 5 shots idea? I think 3 shots is best because it’s just enough to have a few submissions, but not too many that it becomes hard for the submitter to choose what to present and it avoids the judge having too many submissions to look through / choose if it’s 5 per person. I also like how 3 shots makes the submitter choose carefully from a limited variety so they really have to present their best on the subject! I think input from paulc will be valuable as well so I am interested to see what their thoughts are.
Thanks for your response, with the clock still ticking I am aware we need to move forward with this week's comp. I have decided to go with 3rd Place - the unusual Chinese capture 2nd Place to paulc for this great Hope Valley shot. And last but not least 1st Place and this weeks winner Blazin for this glorious GWR Grange image. Thanks to both for taking the time and effort to compete. Over to you Blazin
