Thanks to Jon-asses (graphics) and Jay;.
The Contest
With this contest, we're going to determine who's the best GTA IV screenshot taker of this forum. You can excel in four rounds. After each round, each member of this forum can vote. This way it isn't a decision of the contest leader, but of the whole forum!
You don't have to be a very good player, a good multiplayer, a cheater, a modder or a very good photographer to join this contest. Everyone that is in possession of GTA IV (either PC, Xbox360 or Playstation 3) can compete. Everything depends on the screenshot you have taken.
There will be four rounds, each round has a theme. These will be determined by the contest leader. You have to send in a photo for every round, or you won't get any points. These photo's have to be own made, so don't take them from the internet or from a friend. If someone does this, he will be disqualified.
After the deadline of each round, everybody can vote for his favourite screenshot. Be honest, because that makes the contest even more fun!
Rules
Participating in the contest:- If you want to join, you have to send a PM to Dutchy3010.
- If you want to send in a photo, please send it by PM to Dutchy3010. Anywhere else on the forum means that you are disqualified for this round.
- It isn't allowed to edit your photo (for example with photoshop).
- You have to make the photo in singleplayer. This way members with internet for GTA IV don't have better opportunities then members without internet.
- Any form of Modding is not allowed. You are only allowed to use the video editor when you just use it for taking a screenshot.
- The first photo you send in, is the one that participates.
- The photo has to be own made, you may not send in one made by another.
- Your photo should be new, this means that you aren't allowed send in photo's that you already distributed to the internet.
- There is a deadline, if you send in a photo after the deadline, it will not compete.
- Your photo may have a description of one sentence.
Voting:- You may not vote for your own photo.
- A member has to have at least 10 posts to be eligible to vote.
- A member that votes and turns out to be a duplicate account, won't be counted. If it's a duplicate account of a participant, he will be disqualified.
- If you want to vote, you have to compose a top3 list. Voting for one or two photo's isn't allowed.
- Votes after the voting-deadline will not be counted.
Points
During the voting rounds, you can earn points when your name is in a top-3 list. Number one will gain 3 points, number two will gain 2 points, number three will gain 1 point. After each round there will be a score so far.

You couldn't join because you don't have GTA IV, or because you don't wanted to join with a console version of the game? You liked to follow this contest, but you were to late to sign up? You are competing in this contest, and you would like to compete in another? Or do you just like GTA Vice City as much as I do? If so, this is your chance! In a few days, another contest starts. It's exactly like this one, except that you have to take screens in GTA Vice City. Sun, beaches, palm trees, the eighties, it's all in the game! If you want to join, send me a PM. Don't wait long, because the subscription list will be closed within 36 hours from now! Deadline: May 24, 23.59 (GMT).
