I am looking forward to all the entries!

However, we seem to have 2 discussion threads, and no entry thread!
Each 'discussion' thread links to the other one to post the entries x)

Just wanted to inform that the link in the contest rules post doesn't lead to the Entries thread, but to a closed forum of some sort.

Greetings、

Thanks for pointing these out. The entry thread has been added and the link inside the contest rules updated. :)

I'd just like to apologize to the moderation team for not including my desired prize in my original post, it's something that hadn't come up in previous screenshot contests so it just completely slipped my mind!

I have 100s and 100s of screenshots with loads more memories I wish I could share.... This will be, quite possibly the hardest contest for me. Looking forward to seeing everyone's screenshots ^^

Can I use shots from 1.0 era? Think I have more memorable views there than current one. ^^

Sorry, but no, we're looking for A Realm Reborn screenshots so please don't use images from 1.0 for this contest.
We'd like players to post screenshots representing their strongest and most vivid memories from 2.0 to the present.

We're sure players have loads of great memories from A Realm Reborn, and can't wait to see what memorable shots you guys will submit! :)

Understood. Thanks for clarifying that up. ^^

As a special bonus, Yoshi-P will also be hand picking 14 of his favorite screenshots from the winning entries, which he will frame and sign for the winners making for a truly memorial prize.

So, why does NA and JP contest include a special prize and EU not? :/

Are screenshots from cutscenes considered acceptable entries?

In the NA discussion thread a Camate I think, mentioned "creativity" counts. So if it is a cutscene there is little to no creativity from you? :p

In a word, yes!
To echo the words of Grekumah on the North American discussion thread, while we didn't include the requirement that your character be visible in your screenshot, please keep in mind that the winners will be judged on creativity.

Got it! Thank you!

I'm a screenshot-taking junkie - took forever to decide which to post - and being my first post I utterly failed - found that the image posted looked teeny-tiny and forgot to add in my server/prize/etc info. Don't suppose there is a way to delete and re-post, or edit to correct is there?

Hello!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g...Avatar%2B9.jpg

I have so many great moments from Eorzea, all of which I have captured in screenshots. Over 20,000 screeshots actually. This is the hardest contest by far. I waited until last minute so I can see all other entries. Also, I couldn't pick easily. :p

Sooo many memories. The months of struggle to down Twintania with my FC, and the moment Twisters started at the run I ended up clearing, we had an earthquake here in Greece, but I persisted, the mechanics were enhanced hahaha, or the moment I finally beat Titan Extreme Mode was amazing, the Seasonal Events were AMAZING (that 2014 Hatching-Tide rare FATE, soo many memories canmping out in Isles of Umbra with my friends waiting for it to spawn),

*continuing (can't edit?)

the storyline OMG the storyline, Relic/Atma/Pony Farming, my first Million Gil, Minion coollecting, Leveling up my Chocobo, GOLD SAUCER with Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing, Countless hours of Treasure Hunting with my friends for that elusive little Bluebird Minion, Gentleman of Light greatness, Crystal Tower and my love for FINAL FANTASY III, GILGAMESH, Ultros, Shantotto, Lightning, Puff Puff, and the tragedies that befell us with the people we lost..... well, soooo many stuff!!!!!!

Thank you A Realm Reborn!

Just inquiring to the community team if there are any updates on when the winners will be announced as it's been nearly two weeks.

Thank you ^^

Probably taking a while because the NA version has an actual, physical prize as a reward so they are taking their time over that, and can't really list our winners before the NA winners as we're EU and SE hates us.

You should also see the size of the NA entry thread compared to the EU one (89 vs 33 pages)
