Voting for the May 2018 Screenshot Competition is now open!
All registered NZFF members may vote - not just the entrants.

NOTE: We have TWO categories for voting:

1. Visual Appeal: the winner gets their image displayed as a banner for the following month.
   Please vote for the image you find the most appealing.
2. Relevance to the Theme: the winner gets the sponsored prize and sets the theme for the next screencomp.
   Please vote for the image you think best fits the theme.

The two votes can go to the same entry or to different ones, but please place a vote in BOTH categories.
Voting will close at midnight on Tuesday 5th June (Pacific/Auckland: UTC+12).

Visuals vote to Number: Name

I usually keep my votes until the last minute in case there's a tie-breaker situation, but I can see things are not going to go that way this month!

Visuals vote to 03:Ikbenik
Relevance (theme) vote to 03:Ikbenik

It's such a stunning shot, IMHO - and works well for both categories.

Votes counted, thank you!

As all can see its a full gone conclusion who the winner of both categories is for this month.
So as my vote is irrelevant I wont bother to put it down.
That was the reason why we had votes invisible in the old voting setup so no one knew who was getting all the votes until voting had closed.
Congrats to Marty on winning both categories.

I disagree, Doug! The fat lady hasn't sung yet and anyway, I think the also-rans should get *some* satisfaction that their efforts weren't totally in vain!

I find it quite embarrassing that my entry looks likely to get the famous Eurovision "NUL POINTS!!!" and it could ease my pain somewhat . Bribery may be an option!

So ... I say ... there's still a good few hours to go: GET THOSE VOTES IN!!!

[Splitpin]

PLEASE ...there are some bloody good screens there , give them a boost.

Well. as a long term collector of 'nul points' - although I have occasionally got one vote, and once I even got three - I have to say that I enjoy the smug complacency that comes from knowing I fly my screenshots, rather than constructing them

In that case, you'll be pleased to know that I ploughed my Wyvern into the flight deck on my return from the "photoshoot"!

09 for both for me
Thanks
