We are now accepting FSX shots as well as FS2004 shots. Be sure to check out the size restrictions and other rules. The Contest Host, as always, will be the final judge of what qualifies. Let's see how FSX stacks up against the many addons available for FS2004!
Don't forget - submissions must not have already been posted elsewhere on FlightSimWorld.com or the Internet. This is simply because it's impossible to prove that you created a shot when it is readily available at other sites. Also, please remember to upload your shot to FlightSimWorld.com's server - this is to prevent shots from disappearing down the road when we run our Annual Contest, which is a competition between the 12 monthly winning shots.

This is a brainstorming thread to see what kind of theme ideas everyone can come up with for future contests. The really good ones will be pooled together in this post (I will keep it updated as good ones come in), and the winner of each contest will get to choose the next contest's theme from this pool! Let's see what we can come up with!
