GTA VC Photo Contest!

[Dutchy3010 347]

 

Thanks to PatrickW for the banner!

 

The Contest

This contest is the VC version of the contest that recently started for GTA IV. With this contest, we're going to determine who's the best GTA VC screenshot taker of this forum. You can excel in four rounds. After each round, each member of this forum can vote. This way it isn't a decision of the contest leader, but of the whole forum!

 

You don't have to be a very good player, a good multiplayer, a cheater, a modder or a very good photographer to join this contest. Everyone that is in possession of GTA VC (either PC, Xbox or Playstation 2) can compete. Everything depends on the screenshot you have taken.

 

There will be four rounds, each round has a theme. These will be determined by the contest leader. You have to send in a photo for every round, or you won't get any points. These photo's have to be own made, so don't take them from the internet or from a friend. If someone does this, he will be disqualified.

After the deadline of each round, everybody can vote for his favourite screenshot. Be honest, because that makes the contest even more fun!

 

Rules

 

Participating in the contest:

• If you want to join, you have to send a PM to Dutchy3010.

• The first photo you send in, is the one that participates.
• The photo has to be own made, you may not send in one made by another.
• Your photo should be new, this means that you aren't allowed send in photo's that you already distributed to the internet.
• There is a deadline, if you send in a photo after the deadline, it will not compete.
• Your photo may have a description of one sentence.

Voting:

• You may not vote for your own photo.
• A member has to have at least 10 posts to be eligible to vote.
• A member that votes and turns out to be a duplicate account, won't be counted. If it's a duplicate account of a participant, he will be disqualified.

• Votes after the voting-deadline will not be counted.

This is the end of the GTA Vice City Photo Contest. I hope you all enjoyed the show! We saw very nice photo's. Even though Vice City is a bit old, it is still a beautiful game, and you can still enjoy playing it. Thank you all for your commitment in this competition, without your votes and submissions it couldn't be a success. Special thanks to PatrickW (banner), Flitskikker (signatures), flicko and CharmingCharlie (both for their support). I don't know if there will be any photo contests in the future, but if there is another, I can only hope members will be such as fanatic as the members who participated or voted in this competition. Cheers!

 

 

[GtaHitmanStrikesBack 23]

Hey Dutchy another great contest thanks for that. Gratz to Patrickw and Andyserb. Unlucky everyone else especially charlie. What photos were Charlies anyway? Brilliant again folks and thanks to all that voted me and especially Dutchy for running this great contest. Wished i had posted a better first picture could have had a better chance of coming second or even first hehe.

 

Thanks for the siggy too looks great.

[CharmingCharlie 226]

Well firstly thanks to Dutchy3010 who spent the best part of a month nagging at me "where's your screenshot eh CC ?" and "come on CC let me have it big boy" (I think she was talking about the screenshot) at any rate I certainly let her have it .......... the screen shot I mean. You are becoming quite the contest organiser. I am wondering will the next contest involve a polaroid camera and a ruler ? and will viagra be classed as a "mod". Anyway it was fun

 

As for which pictures are mine, I am shocked you need to ask mine were the perverted ones of course, that should give you enough of a clue to guess which are mine. If you need further help just look at the pictures and captions and which ever ones make you think "damn this guy needs to get laid badly" are mine.

 

Any way I can't stop I got a mountain of bans waiting for me

 

 

CharmingCharlie starts going through the voting reaction topics looking for those that didn't vote for him and subsequently banning them

[Dutchy3010 347]

Lol. Thanks for your compliments guys, and of course congratulations to the winners.

[Bullet_Chris 6]

Only 5th place.

 

Hey Dutchy, could you make this for III or SA?Only if you want!

[AndyGanteks 13,541]

It was a great competition guys, a lot of lovely screenshots by everyone.

 

And the winning sigs are nicer then those on the IV Contest imo, because they show everyone's pic in the background, and i dunno, just felt like the VC screens are a bit better then the IV ones.

[PatrickW 227]

I would like to thank everybody that voted for my screens, and congratulate the other winners with their achievement.

This contest was a lot of fun, as it forced me to spend again considerable time in my favorite GTA, which I greatly enjoyed.

Thanks Dutchy for the organization and I hope there will be an SA version of the contest soon

[Urban Legend 11]

There could be another one of these you think? Maybe even use the LC mod?
