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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
