No offense but art (whether digital or RL) is quite hard and strenuous compared to someone adding typography/editings pics. Now if you go to the great lengths of editing your pic for like, hours on end, I can see it falling more into the field of art. But if you're gonna clump someone's 5 mins photoshop edit to someone that most likely spent 3+ hours (usually way more) drawing/coloring/layering a digital picture, I'm gonna have to sorely disagree with you...

Alot of artists use digital art because it saves on supplies and having to scan in art work into their computers, and why does it make it any less valid than real art work? Also we've had two past screenshot contests, and this one is a way for other people's talents to shine through...and just not allow people to take kawaii screens again, cuz honestly anyone can do it if they try hard enough lol.

Mod also delete the post above this one, thought I could edit lol

Really... you don't think that someone's submission that might have started as a screenshot might not have been as strenuous... then I challenge you to go gather 5-10 people, configure every single outfit/emote for each player, find the perfect setting (location/time), line up the PERFECT screenshot, take it into photoshop (filters etc.) figure out the exact message and pick the perfect typography and put it all together.
