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 / Reshades / 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. Under no circumstances will any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributer be tollerated. This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries will close at 21:00 BST on Friday, October 28th and will be judged by me - cscarpenter In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 17:00 Sunday, October 30th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.
