GENERAL COMPETITION RULES

ENTRY SUBMISSION

  • The only way you can take part is to be a member of the GTPlanet forums. If you haven't created your account yet, click here.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • Unsure how to? Copy and paste the following: [COLOR=red][B]FINAL ENTRY[/B][/COLOR]
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Absolutely no entries which utilise edited/hacked file saves.
  • Winner gets to choose the following month’s theme.
  • The organisers may ask for the original image/livery and it must be submitted if so.
  • It's recommended to share the original livery online (in-game) to prove it’s your work.


ENTRY PRESENTATION
  • All images shall have preview images which may not exceed 640 pixels in either direction (main and bonus pictures).
  • You have to post two main pictures of your entry using the mandatory location and settings as shown in the quote below.
  • You are allowed to post two bonus pictures in a spoiler ([SPOILER]...[/SPOILER]) with free location and settings (unless the unique restrictions of the week’s theme specify something else).
  • You have to make one post with ONLY the set allowed number of pictures and the FINAL ENTRY (see above) mark. If you want to add precisions/background story/links, you are allowed to double-post under your entry, but please put all additional images in a spoiler. The best way to do it will be to "reply" to your own post.
  • It is recommended you host your image either here on GTPlanet (via the Media section), or on Flickr
  • Not sure how to submit your image? Here's a guide for both methods mentioned above.
  • Do not attach your phots directly to your entry post.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!
  • No post-game editing of any entry image is allowed.
  • Mark your entry with which platform you're on and which mode you're using, whether it’s taken on PS4 Base, PS4 Pro, PS5 Raytracing or PS5 Framerate.


MANDATORY PICTURES
  • You have to post a front and a rear quarter view of your car:
    • Mandatory Scape: S&Company East, Saitama, Japan (scape number 5)
    • Focal Length: ~80mm ±5mm
    • Aperture: f5.6 or f8.0
    • Shutter Speed: 1/1 Second
    • Exposure Correction: +0.5 to +1.0
  • Do not use any Filters or Effects at all and only the camera setting above within the allowed limits; the pictures are supposed to be as equal as possible for all entries and not give anyone who is a bit more savvy with the Scapes Camera an advantage! Try to stay as close as possible to how the video shows the shot to be taken!

NOTE: if you have previously entered, just go to Scapes > My Library > click your previous entry > Open Scapes > change car to the new entry, refocus and snap a new photo. No need to reposition the camera/car unless its proportions are wildly different.


Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, start a convo with me, Matski or any other participant you feel comfortable reaching out to.

PLEASE NOTE: Repeat offenders will be disqualified. If your entry doesn’t match the rules you will be made aware of it at least once, so please keep an eye out for any notifications reaching your profile.

This itasha was made to commemorate the Ijigen Fes IDOLM@STER★♥Love Live! Uta Gassen held on 9 & 10 December 2023 (hence the car number 129 - December 9). The itasha features the 7 characters representing the 4 Love Live and 3 Idolm@ster units that performed at the concert, as well as singing the joint theme song Ijigen☆♥BIGBANG.



The remainder of the itasha is mostly patterned after Mazda’s GTWS Manufacturers Cup livery.
 
I had an idea for the time attack on an old mountain road. Narrow, lined with trees. Compact dirt and rock, potholes the size of a bear cub and wash board sections from the water run off. Found a site the would work not far from home for an un-official time attack. Made up a car with local touches and a Christmas theme. Then wife catches what I missed that the TIME ATTACK is for the length of time the Bonus LEC will be open.
 
Thank you for putting up this Christmas Special Edition.

Had many ideas what to do, like booze, expensive chocolate, weird toys and so on.

But at the end was the decision to go with the most known christmas car, the Coca-Cola Truck. Just a little bit more sporty.

Merry Christmas to all members of this board :gtpflag:
Every year I pick up a couple of the M2 Machines Coke Christmas cars to add to my collection.
 
I was really stuck between two entries, one, an original Haribo candy and this R8. I ended up entering this one, because I was really happy with the outcome, and I had to make every decal on it except maybe one or two minor sponsors. It has been pretty un appreciated in showcase, so I figured I could show it here😜.
 
Wanted some reason to use the GT-R R33 I've had since forever. A silver 'winter' quick paint job and major Nissan-based logos and off to the cold winter tracks it goes!​

Time Attack you say? As chance would have it, I’ve recently made around 20 replicas of local cars to help advertise a state level Time Attack event. Now to choose which one to enter!
