How are the screenshots that are eneted into the competition chosen? If you send a screenshot to simairline and it is displayed in the screenshots page, does it have a chance of going up in the competition, or do yo have to specify that it is a competitive screenshot? Also, does a photo that appears in the contest have to match the specific criteria that are mentioned on the 'how to take a good competitive screenshot' page, or whatever it is called?

I select twelve from the gallery in question. I do not always select the BEST twelve. As an example, if one pilot sends in several excellent and similar ones, I will generally not always include all of them, because vote splitting may occur.

It is automatically under consideration.

No, although screenshots not following the suggestions are often reasons why a screenshot does not make it to the contest level.

Ah, I see now.

Thank you Aaron for explaining it to me.
