Spring 2022 Screenshot Contest FINALISTS! VOTE HERE!

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion

The 2022 Spring Screenshot Contest has been long over now and I wanted to give a huge shoutout to everyone who participated, there were so many truly amazing screenshots, that you can see here:

These screenshots are not just beautiful but they also have very frequently shown up as thumbnails in the videos of content creators in our community! So way to go!

That said, it’s now time to VOTE on the best screenshot finalists, as promised in the original thread. To stay true to the original plan in the thread, we will vote on the top 5 screenshots. However, I am realizing that only two creators produced all of the top 5 screenshots, @roflmanz101 and @Gratifikation.

So obviously, whoever wins the poll is the screenshot contest champion, and whoever loses between these two is the second place winner. Then, I thought it would be nice to recognize the two other creators who had images with more than 20 likes, @OperaticShip743 and @JjForcebreaker. So I’ve shown two of their top images as well, and made a poll to let people vote on which of them will be the third place runner up to the 2022 Spring contest.

Let the voting commence!

The top 5 images are below:

Bumping this for visibility, I think I am gonna say we will keep voting open for 48 more hours, and then declare the winner!

For the next Screenshot contest, I propose to have only different photographers in the top 5. Even if several screenshots of the same person are in the top 5 (we will take the best rated). It allows for more diversity.
