Win some real-life loot from screenshot contests
We've got not one but two different screeshot contests that have shown up on the tip line lately. First off, our friend Mep, who runs WoW Screenshots, has gotten his contest all up and running, and you can go over and upload a screenshot or vote for the winners over there right now. His contest runs through September 20th, and the prize is a mousepad with your winning screenshot printed right on it. Pretty groovy custom prize -- we can't wait to see what kinds of screenshots rise to the top.
And Chris also emailed us about a new site he's started up called Epic Screens. It's another screenshot database (a little competition is a good thing, right?), and he's hosting his own best screenshot contest, with two copies of vanilla WoW on the line (perfect, he says, for Recruit-a-friend). He doesn't have a final date (or any other official rules posted), so we're guessing you just head on over there and submit some shots, and if you win, he'll let you know. Sounds like fun -- let the screenshot competitions begin!

Epic is epic! If the blog(s) in question would contact me through http://postcardsfromazeroth.blogspot.com then I'm sure we could get some hot hot screenshot action going. x

Very nice! I like that screen shot a lot :)
Mep Sep 11th 2009 6:52PM
I just noticed that this was actually the one I voted on before this post :)

I'd like to take a sec and thank the hundreds of people who have gone to http://www.wow-screenshots.com in the last two hours. You guys all rock, and we promise to continue to offer contests...
I ... may... have a few http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=66030 - Grunty cards laying around... let me take a quick look'see here ;)

No problem! It's a great site, the layout is nicely done.
Mep Sep 11th 2009 7:44PM
Thanks :)
We're actually redoing the category area (we weren't 100% done with it, incase you can't tell lol), it should be better by the end of the weekend, as well as a few other systems that you'll see :)

Well it's definitley in my bookmarks, I love looking at WoW screenshots when I have nothing else to do.
Mep Sep 11th 2009 8:04PM
I'm a big fan of the "Random" feature. I think that's the big "tell" about if a site is good or not... when the people who made the site go to it frequently (and not to fix bugs lol)

Wow! Thank you wow.com and to everyone who has submitted and visited the site! I am on vacation right now, but as soon as I am back I will be adding all of the sreenahots as soon as I get back! Since the site just started I don't have an end date for the contest, but all entries are counted.

Very cool... finally got me to go through my screenshots folder. :)

This has got to be one of the best sites out there. I love WoW's landscapes and nature. I can spend hours just flying around and enjoying the world, and saying "hey! that looks awesome!"
Anyone else with me?
Mep Sep 12th 2009 7:43AM
Thank you very much for that rousing endorsement :) Compliments are always appreciated. We put a lot of work into making these tools for the community and we like knowing that people enjoy them.
And I'm totally with you, flying around the world and the sunset comes up at just the right time over a mountain, or a lake, and you think "It's insane that this is a game..."
