    Welcome back to the Train Simulator Screenshot Contest!

    This week's theme is: In the dark



    You can vote for next week's theme in the poll attached to this thread. What is your choice?

    Follow us on Instagram (instagram.com/trainsim) to see your screenshots featured on our feed!

    How does it work?

    You can submit your screenshot to the thread, and every Monday we will choose which screenshots will go to the loading screens. Shortly after, we will open a new thread and announce the winners. Each week has its own theme which is voted for by the community.

    Competition Rules:
    • Limit is 2 screenshots per person; 1 screenshot per post.
    • Include in your post the route the screenshot was taken on as well as the name of the train (if applicable).
    • Screenshots must be in a 16:9 resolution, at least 1920x1080 pixels.
    • Screenshots must fit the theme of the week, as stated at the beginning of this post.
    • In order to qualify for the competition, screenshots must be taken from products published by Dovetail Games that are currently on sale.
    Other Rules:

    • Official content only. Please make sure anything that is not available on the Steam Store or Dovetail Store is not shown in the screenshot. - This means no reshade, repaint mods, track upgrades or workshop routes.
    • Your entry may be disqualified if it is deemed to not follow these rules. Please limit chat to only when absolutely necessary.
    • Competition closes at mid-day Monday (UK time). The winner will be chosen every Monday.
    • Winner's Prize: The winning screenshot will appear in the game as a loading screen for 1 week!
    (Please Note since the new update which changes loading times we have decided to change it to 1 week)


    T&C:
    • Please refer the terms and conditions for this competition here:
    https://dovetailgames.com/competition-terms-and-conditions/
    • Note that by submitting an entry to this contest, you are consenting to us using your screenshot as a loading screen and showing it on our social media channels (such as Instagram)

    Thank you, I wasn't sure whether to go with that overall scene image or this close up.
    What the heck we are allowed two so I'll leave this here as my second option..

    One from the archive, with the theme being "In The Dark", thought I might give this shot another outing.

    Gotta say, with 1 last contest left, we've all been absolutely killed by cscarpenter this year, this is his staggering 11th win this year, and the next closest person only has 5 I think. Great shot again!

    I was the one with 6 likes. Maybe because i was higher up and not many people saw it. Congrats Cscarpenter!

    Thanks Blacknred81, much appreciated, I genuinely did not expect to be so successful this year and always take every win with the utmost gratitude.
    Must admit I have learned so much from your good self, Ironbladder and the rest of you long standing contributers on how to choose a subject, framing, angles, composition, lighting etc. over the years and it seems to have all come together for me this past year.
    As for this week I am honestly gobsmacked, back to back wins, what a christmas present. :o
    When I started entering this comp back in 2020 I entered every week and won just 1
    Here we are in 2022 and I have my first ever back to back winners.
    Thank you all for your inspirations, and kind comments over the past.
    My very best wishes to you all over the festive season, and long may we all continue to keep this thread alive and kicking with the terrific shots you all contribute every week.

    Thanks for the congrats, much appreciated.
    Just for clarification, not sure if you are aware but a shot with just 1 Like can win this competition where as another shot that has 15 likes is not even in the running.
    It is all down to DTG Jamie / DTG Alex etc acting as judge to chose their favourite shot from all the contributions.
    Likes are just shared by those of us that particularly like a fellow members shot, they have no weight towards who wins or loses.
    Best wishes

    Mucho congrats cscarpenter on a terrific year.
    You have certainly raised the bar for us all going forward.
    Here's to next week and maybe we can keep you, cscarpenter, from achieving the elusive hat trick :D
    Good luck to us all

    I'm not sure what you intended with this post, but the important part is, yours isn't 16:9, so there's a handicap.
    You might score a win if it looks well when cut, but by default rules, no.
