I'm keen for edited or not pics
Polls tend to work best for voting too

Got horrible quality for game screenshoots. recommend any program?

Use the screenshot Mod created by QTIM and use the print-screen button to get a high resolution JPEG of your in-game screen. https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38.0.html
You can then edit them to your liking in Photoshop or Gimp.

Awesome Idea.
A few pointers:
Have the competition in the Screenshots board
Limit entries to one screen per member
Provide parameters for the size and dimentions of the picture, or you will be overwhelmed with 4MB posters.
Have a set deadline for entries
Pick a theme per competition, and have regular competitions.
In Modact 3 there is an option to take screenshots in either jpg, or tga. TGA is much higher quality. Members can extrapolate these mods to their UP3 or HSFX installs also. DBW which will be out later will have it already.
Let me know if youre interested in being the game-master for such competitions, and we'll give you a hand.
cheers

I vote yes but for UNEDITED screenshots, otherwise it is not really a screenshot contest anymore, but aviation art of which barely anything is from IL2.
Indeed, but we should allow cropping imo :)
Here is a shot of the target for a online mission Im working on at the moment. Kure naval base,1945

Sounds good then, let the contest begin! 8)

Id say one should allow cropping and basic colour and editing as is available in picasa.

i also put a POLL up but i guess josse moved it but now i cant find it so i dont know how many votes it got.

yUp exactly, or maybe you could put it in the factory thread. get it more noticed ;)
the screens would be like 800x600
Each contest will have a different theme that you have to follow. EX : Winter Morning Arrival, ring of fire. for plane Heavy bombers, Light fighters, float planes etc.
1. Image size needs to be 800x600 (use any program. ex: photobucket, imgshack)
2. Don't vote your own Screenshot and don't use images found on the internet
3. You will have a time-line of 15 or somedays days to upload your Screenshots, then voting will start
limited editing would defiantly allow cropping and basic colour

well if there is editing and im sure there are some photoshop masters on here, that would totaly blow away the contest form someone else. but who knows

Basic or no editing will attract more pics which is good, cropping is a must as a decent crop can make or break any picture.
Themes would be good for keeping things focused ie : Battle of Britian, Yaks, Down in Flames and such
But you probably need a single person to run it to keep things in order and on track.
