Hello everyone,
To celebrate the recent release of New Pokémon Snap we wanted to provide an opportunity for some forum fun with a brand new photography competition, open to all forum users. In addition to the unadulterated prestige of being recognised as an expert photographer by the Bulbagarden community, we also have some forum goodies up for grabs!
How to participate
If you wish to participate, all you need to do is send in a screenshot of a photo from New Pokémon Snap or a screenshot of a moment in Pokémon Camp in Sword and Shield - we appreciate that not everyone has access to the new game.
Your screenshot may be cropped, rotated, and have brightness, focus, contrast and blur adjusted as per the Re-snap feature in NPS, but additional elements such as stickers, filters and borders may not be added. Your photo must feature at least a single Pokémon (obviously!).
Your entry should be sent by PM to me, and should also feature a title for the photo. Though this is primarily a photography competition, a witty title could help contextualise the scene or otherwise help users pick between two very good entries.
The window for submissions is two weeks long, open immediately and closing at 11.59pm British Summer Time on Monday 31st May. You may change your submission during this time, but only a single entry is permitted for the voting round.
Selecting the winners
After the closure of the submission window, the entries (and titles) will be placed in a public poll where people can vote for as many of their favourite photos as they like. The entries will be anonymised to ensure fairness, so please don't disclose your entry to anyone other than me until after the competition has concluded.
After another two-week window, the three entries with the most votes will be the winners! In the event of a tie, I will cast an impartial tiebreaker vote. Other staff are permitted to freely participate and vote.
