Shack/TechSmith/EVGA Contest

by Maarten Goldstein, Apr 30, 2002 7:12am PDT

Re-post: As part of the deal I made with TechSmith (who run BestGameShots), whom many of you have noticed carry a little logo in our screenshots section.. we're hosting a simple contest with a fancy prize. A screenshot contest. The prize? Well I talked the folks at EVGA in to giving us a GeForce4 Ti4600 w/ACS cooling. It retails for about $450. Here are the rules, keeping it simple.

- The contest is for "oh cool!" factor based on composition - Shots will be judged by the readers - The game must be a recent PC game (within past 4 years) - Nothing crude or attempts at humor. Sorry. - All shots will be resampled for equal image quality.   (so the guys with the crappy vidcards who really need a GF4 have a fair shot) - Entries must be accompanied with a name/shipping address   (Only way I could think of to easily prevent fraud) - I promise to throw away all addresses once the contest ends, dont worry - 1 screenshot per household, 800x600 resolution. - Open to everyone, including those not from North America. - Entries can be sent to contest@shacknews.com - We reserve the right to deny any screenshot we feel is unfit for the contest
Go here to download TechSmith's screenshot app SnagIt. (Yup, its the catch!). The dirty marketing scheme being that you try out the app in hopes of winning the GeForce4, and hopefully during that time you get sold on SnagIt.
