____________________________________________________




Hello, Ladies and Gents!

Welcome to Stage 1 of the...
June Screenshot Contest!

The contest will be divided into 4 parts:

1. Recruitment
2. Deliberation
3. Submissions
4. Voting

We are currently at: Submissions

I currently do not feel as though I alone should be in charge of GUN's screenshot contests.

It is simply not fair to the community, and it is better to have more people working on this project than just lonely ol' me.

So, I would like to ask the community to aid me in this endeavor.

What I need is 2 people who are willing to help organize the screenshot contest for the month of June.


These people should be respectable, active members of the GUNetwork, and be willing to coordinate with myself and another member of the committee, as well as vote on and help decide contest rules/regulations. (theme, submission period, new rules, etc).

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A STAFF MEMBER TO APPLY!

Those who wish to apply for a position on my council should submit all applications here.
When submitting an application, please include:

1. Any possible past history in judging similar material
2. Whether or not you would be able to communicate with the other team members on contest specifics (Either through PM's or Skype)
3. Your native language. It is preferred that you speak English, but if you use a translator or if English is not your first language you will still be considered.
4. Your favorite color. (Mine's purple).

This topic will be open for exactly 1 week and I will then decide and announce the committee members on May 15th,
at which point we will enter Stage 2: Deliberation

Even if you think you won't be selected it never hurts to try! I will be looking at all applicants closely, so go ahead and submit one!

Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
TheHulksCousin

EDIT: For most-recent updates, please look for my most-recent post in this topic. Thank you.

I was just thinking yesterday that I want to get another contest going. I've got some ideas.

1. I've either competed in or judged all previous contests.
2. I can stay in touch though I will be busy off and on during the month
3. English
4. Technicolor

I'd love to throw my hat in for a committee spot! It would be awesome to help out for this contest!

1. I don't have any previous experience but I am eager to learn so that I may build a resume for future events.
2. My schedule opens up tremendously next week all through summer so I can definitely stay in touch and keep up on current events.
3. English
4. Cyan

1. I have no experience, but I do have a strong interest.
2. I Log onto GUN a few times most days, so I'll definitely be easy to contact.
3. English
4. Blue

1. I competed in some screenshot contest already and did some judging of pictures/artworks back in art class in school.
2. I log into VGU/GUN at least every one or two days but I'm always reachable by Skype or Steam. PMs work too.
3. German
4. Orange

1. I have no experience, but I would love to have the opportunity!
2. I am on almost everyday at somestage, so it is fairly easy to get in touch with me, also I have my steam linked, which I am on everyday!
3. English
4. All the secondary colors

1. I have none which is great
2. I am on every day, so you can talk to me very easy.

Alright everyone. This is the LAST DAY to submit an application to join the Screenshot contest Committee.

Thank you everyone for your patience. Good luck!

I don't have a Skype. Or a mic for that matter, so is there a way I can get around that?

Hello everyone.

After hours of careful consideration, and due to the many well-thought out applications submitted, I have decided to have the committee broken up like this:

3 Main members
2 Alternates

The alternates will be used in the event the committee reaches an impasse and needs either a tie-breaker or a new opinion.

Please remember that I did not choose the committee members based on status on GUNetwork. I chose them based solely on the application submitted here, as well as the user's posted topics and messages.

So here are the winners:
Main Committee members:
@Dragbody
@wurm45

Alternates:
@blivit270
@Ahsoka

I will send PM's to those chosen, and if no reply is sent within 72 hours, I will move down the list.

Thank you everyone who participated! Once we have a confirmed staff we will move into stage 2: Deliberation.

Can't wait until its time to start sending things in.

I would like everyone that sees this message to please vote on the poll in this topic.

The committee has been unable to decide on whether or not to have a main theme for the screenshot contest.

This contest will be different from the usual format of screenshot contests we have done in the past, which will be explained when the contest launches on the 3rd.

So, the contest can work without a main theme, but we still wanted to gauge the community to see what your opinions are.

If we DO choose to have a main theme, the theme will be HEATWAVE. All things centered around hot, humid environments and relating to the activities of summer.

The poll will be open until the 3rd, and no matter how many people vote, whichever opinion has the most votes will win.

Thank you all, and please VOTE!

So, for curiosity's sake, are SFM pictures allowed, or would that not technically count as a "game" for the purposes of this contest?

Pardon my confusion @TWKUK but what's SFM?

I believe he's talking about Source Film Maker.

That is indeed what I was talking about.

@TWKUK Well I don't see any problem with it. As long as it relates back to the main theme, SFM should be fine.
