    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.

    • 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 9PM GMT on Friday, November 15th 2024 and will be judged by me - Paulc

    In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 17:00 on November 17th, 2024 a new thread will be created using the results of this weeks poll. (Or another weeks poll as I CBA doing a poll :) )

    The theme for this week is: AC/DC

    Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish.
    Good luck to all, but most importantly, remember to have fun.

    When it comes to mountain grades, AC power is the way to go, as demonstrated by a set of five AC driven diesels on the 3% grade of Tennessee Pass.

    Hi all, I am back at PC (Happy Days) paulc if we don't hear from mfeets in the not too distant future, are you happy to continue running next weeks comp (meaning you have not been able to contribute for two weeks) ? I am more than happy to run next weeks thread with a Freestyle theme. I feel I owe it to you all for bailing out of this weeks thread.
    Best wishes
