Welcome to the NZFF January 2012 Screenshot Competition.


This month's rules are as follows (Please read them).

1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004 or FSX,) and the position of the shot must be from somewhere within the New Zealand territory.

2) Some editing is allowed (if you know how to do it.) Additional images - either screenshots or "real" images can be added - but the main component of the image should always be of a Flight sim screen capture.

3) The images must be jpg and size must be at least 1024 pixels wide and no wider than 1280 pixels -- A good free resizing program can be found at http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm.
No txt to be left on the image. Please keep a high resolution version saved on your computer; the admin may request it from you at the end of the month to convert into a site banner!

4) Images can be submitted from January 1st until midnight 31st January 2012, with only one entry of a single image per member.
You can change your image anytime up until 1 hour before the closing time.
To change use the edit button at the bottom of your post, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one If you post comments using the quote or reply button please edit out all images from your reply or quote.

If you have any queries about the rules please PM me for clarification before posting your entry.

5) Soon after the competition ends, a poll will open for members to decide who has the best image, and the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the Sponsor’s prize for the month.

6) This month's theme: Seaplanes, Floatplanes or Amphibian aircraft anywhere in New Zealand Territory. (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)

So why do soo many have frames and were in the rules does it say you can't?
eg 07moffata's screen shot in this comp and splitpins always seems to have a frame and his is leading the votes by far in the Christmas comp and clearly has a frame?

The problem isn't the frames themselves, it's the fact that the image needs to meet the minimum pixel size WITHOUT the frame, as the frame can't be included in a banner -- it would look silly with the top and bottom of the frame cropped off. So it is better to leave the frame off for the competition.
