• Note: To take a screenshot of the market UI, hit the "Print Screen" key, paste (Ctrl + v) the image into an external image editor (such as Microsoft Paint), then save (Ctrl + s) the resulting file. CoH/V will not automatically save the image in your default screenshot directory, so doing it manually is the only way to get this shot.

• A list of "subjects" will be published on the main forums at 6:00pm EST on Saturday, August 15th, 2009. Take screenshots of these subjects and enter to win fabulous cash & prizes!
• Villains only, levels 1-50, on Freedom, Virtue, and Justice.
• Self-paced; there is no teaming schedule for this event.
• Limit of one contest entry per global account.

• Will contain 17 subjects to be captured.
• Each subject will be broken down into 3 levels of increasing difficulty: Basic, Advanced, and Master.

• Basic: can be solo'd by a level 1 character. Every subject will be something that can be found in an open zone.
• Advanced: can still be solo'd, but you'll need a high level character to do so. Most subjects will require access to level restricted zones and/or use of the Flashback system.
• Master: will be difficult or impossible to solo. Most subjects will require use of SF/Trial content and/or the completion of an exceptionally dangerous task (such as the defeat of a Hero or Archvillain).
• No randomly occurring events (i.e. Giant Monster spawns or similar) will be required at any level.
• Please submit only one screenshot per subject.

Basic: Any Clockwork Spawn (easily found in most low level zones)
Advanced: Psychic Clockwork King (found only in a level 40-44 mission, accessible via the Flashback system)
Master: The Clockwork King (found only in the Synapse or Lady Gray TF)

• Screenshots of Mission Architect / Architect Entertainment content will not be accepted.
• All screenshots must be taken with UI enabled. For perfect results every time, use this handy slash command: /screenshotui 1
• Your character(s) must be at least partially visible in each screenshot. However, you do not need to use the same character for every shot, or even take them all on the same server.
• If the subject is a targetable entity (an enemy, ally, NPC, etc.), then it must appear in your target window.
• Screenshots must have filenames and/or tags that indicate their subject matter. If in doubt, use this format: "SubjectName (DifficultyLevel).jpg"

• Perfect: "Clockwork (Advanced).jpg"
• Unacceptable: "screenshot_2009-08-25-14-19-53.jpg"
• Upload all screenshots to the online host of your choice (such as www.Photobucket.com). Please keep images as close to their native resolution as possible (shrunken images may be difficult to judge).
• Once you have uploaded a qualifying screenshot of all 17 subjects, post the link in this thread and PM the link to: Altoholic_Monkey also, include your global name.
• Submissions will not be accepted after the deadline of 11:59pm EST on Sunday, August 30th, 2009.

• Images will first be evaluated to ensure they meet technical and subject matter requirements.
• If all 18 images are accepted, your entry will be awarded between 18-126 points:

• 1 point per Basic level image.
• 2 points per Advanced level image.
• 3 points per Master level image.
• 4 bonus points per image captured while participating in any other RO Anniversary event. If you believe one or more of your images should qualify for this bonus, please mention it at the time of your submission.
• No partial credit. 16/17 subjects = 0 points.
