The turnout has been great and we are happy to say that dozens of screenarchers - newcomers and veterans alike - have entered the event. We all - that is the Nexus Mods team as well as our co-hosts for the event: Excellentium and napoleonofthestump - have been blown away by the sheer outpour of creativity we have seen from our screenshot community over these past two weeks!
We thank you all for participating in the event and for your contributions - be it your entries or just encouraging comments and feedback in the image share.
Please note that as of 04:00 PM (GMT) today, the contest entry form is now closed and that participants cannot edit their entries any longer.
During the next week, we will be picking 15 shots from 15 artists for the jury selection. Once that is done, keep your eyes peeled for a final news post concluding the event.
The three prizes will then be awarded at random: one £25 Steam Gift card will go to a random participant, two separate gift cards will be given to two different artists from the jury selection.
In the meantime, feel free to browse through the event related image category for Skyrim, Skyrim SE, Enderal, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 and take a look at all the amazing screenshots and sets created by the community.
Thank you all!

A moderator has closed this comment topic for the time beingThe Nexus guys will be reviewing how it went on their end, in order to try to make improvements to the way their competition system worked.
Then, once they have made the necessary adjustments and sorted out who's doing what again, I'm confident they'll be doing another one :)
This just means for us that we can take our time doing more cool screenshots. Hey, in this interim, see if you can all do images of different themes, then you can have some ready for whatever theme they do next! :D
Looking forward to next one. I'm sure it will be easier to submit entries next time so I don't think there'll be much to worry about :)
One reason we chose to focus on Bethesda games for this event was the lively and organized community screen-shooting scene already present in these media. If you're interested in highlighting the visual potential of the Division franchise, consider organizing your fellow screen-shooters to create a community-run event of your own, like our Skyrim/Fallout Community Theme series. Communities that self-organize and show initiative in collaborating already will be more likely to receive official attention and support.
The Division 2 sure does look pretty from afar- can't wait to see what you create with it!
I would do a Ubi-wide photomode contest. No prize, I don't have anything to give, but it would be fun. It would include games like AC: Odyssey and Origins, Far Cry 5, Division 2, and any others with photomode. It could also be extended to any game that has the Shift+F2 functionality, like Watch Dogs 2.
Also, ajhardy, I feel your pain and second your eye-roll sigh.
Stay tuned for a closing news post with the judges selection and compilation of the entries.
Congrats to everyone involved and it was a really nice idea, i hope to see more contests, with or without prizes (and if so, a random prize is the best option, even if it is a copy of a random game or something like this). Being picky with the rules and separating people is not a good choice and i am glad you went the 'fair' way.
Nothing will ever be perfect, as we are dealing with people, but i guess everything went as smooth as it could, even with some adversities.
Thanks and, well, good luck everyone! :)
