    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 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, December 8st and will be judged by me - PaulC

    In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, December 10th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.
    Theme for this week : Winter/Snow/Cold

    Lets see those snowy landscapes or those cold claggy winter startups

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

    You're not forgotten, I've collected a few, and now I just need to cherry pick. Or rum pick. Maybe tequila pick.
    Can I just post 23? Please? (No.)

    Anyway, will edit this. We're finalizing the year at work and it's a bit tiresome. Or wheel-some.
    Yes, I have very good jokes when actually tired.

    Edit: Down to four. I really can't decide the last one. Grr! :)

    Thank you :) I was hoping you'd enjoy the confetti!
    Congratulations to Craigie & Blazin for the podium places :)

    Hm. I need to think about a theme. Would "Snow, Not White" be too specific? Basically, having to use Autumn & Spring with wintry weathers.
    Might be too similar to this one. However, it could also be a nice opportunity to show off some updated weathers.

    It's up: Unofficial Screenshot Competition - Week 50 - Vegetation
