WowJutsu is holding its very first contest! It's a little different from most contests though, because there is no small selection of prizes to go out to individual people. We're thinking bigger than that and rewarding one entire realm. I'm sure you're wondering what sort of prize we could provide to that many people, and we'll tell you - the winning realm will be put into our daily update queue! That of course means that rather than waiting several days for your guilds to be scanned, all guilds on the winning realm will be updated every day.

As you may have figured out from the title, this is going to be a screenshot contest... but not just any screenshot contest. It's going to be epic! Maybe even legendary! That of course all depends on how awesome your submitted screenshots are. This is a great opportunity to join forces with the other players on your realm to make something that blows everyone else out of the water. Show us what an epic battle between the two factions would really look like and have a chance to get your entire realm put into our daily update queue.

Screenshot Tips (Source)

• Use the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard to take a screenshot in-game. Your screenshot will appear in your World of Warcraft directory in the /Screenshots/ subdirectory.
• Make sure your interface and any chat box text is turned off via hitting Alt+Z
• Make sure the screenshot is at least in 800x600 resolution or higher. The ideal format is 1024x768. Screenshots should not be low-quality or low resolution.
• When taking most screenshots of large groups, for clarity, turn off player names. To do this, open up the "Interface Options" and turn off player names. Look through previously posted screenshots for an idea when to use player names.
• Try turning up your graphics settings before taking the screenshot. Increase your resolution and maximize the detail settings to assure that your shot is the best it can be! Even if your computer cannot support continuous play at these settings, you can always revert to your previous settings after you take your shot.
• Go into first person mode to get a better angle for your screenshot. A screenshot from the default third person camera angle can be okay, but try going into first person mode to find a more interesting angle for your shot.
