Suggestions for themes and groups of themes for the Screenshot Contest

[Betty]

Hi all,

Most important, apart from clear rules and a competent jury, a Screenshot Contest needs a theme, a theme, a theme! :wink:

And as it will be you to suggest themes for your screenshots, you should also nominate them and vote for them.

If you have an idea for an appropriate theme, post it here; it would be great if you could also add the "appropriate" difficulty level.

For example: the "the fisherman – easy" or "flowers in the castle – hard".

Many thanks and have fun!

Yours,
Betty

“Sport in the Annoworld”
“My Garden”
“Pomp is everywhere”
“In the woods”

The following things have also been suggested:

- There should be an alternation between topical and topic-free contests (e.g. every second month without topic).

- The jury picks the next topic.

- Topics should be known a while in advance e.g. half a year (3, 6 or 12 months have been suggested).

- It has been discussed, wether there shoud be a rating on how difficult a topic is.

An update from the German forum:

Most people oppose assigning a level of difficulty to the topic-suggestions. It has also been suggested to vote for the topics.

And it seems almost certain there will be months with topics alternating with months without a certain topic.

[Rnett]

That is how it use to work, one month a given topic then the next month was "free form"..........

Krazi Karts.... (help the cartman reach the producer through a maze).

could be fun for everyone, even if you are not submitting shots.
