Simutrans 25th Anniversary Video Contest

Welcome, everyone! The first Simutrans Video Contest is about to begin! This is the first time ever we celebrate a video contest, and it is not the only surprise! This year you can also win actual prizes just by participating! Let everyone win!

Participation 1 - There are no categories. This means you can choose whatever pakset you want, and also whatever Simutrans version you want (yes, including Extended and OTRP). 2 - You can submit as up to two videos. This also means you can win up to two prizes! 3 - You need to include title for every video. Videos without title will not be eligible! 4 - You have until Januay 15st (inclusive) to submit your video!

Theme and guidelines 1 - The theme this year is... Routes! Show us your best routes, for example by following a convoi or different convois. Be creative! 2 - To keep videos clean, hide city/station names and waiting bars. Also, avoid showing non-Simutrans elements such as the title bar. 3 - There are no limits to video size and resolution, but recommended resolution is 1920x1080 as this is the most common resolution. 4 - Video duration limit is 10 minutes, but consider a duration of around 5 minutes. 5 - Use Simutrans music when possible. If you wish to use other music, please check that the license allows for its usage freely.

Remember that you can submit videos that do not fit the theme or guidelines just for the sake of showing others your work, but theme and guidelines will be used to select the winners!

Prizes 1 - For the first winner ONLY: The video will be displayed on the Simutrans Steam store page, alongside the new trailer. If the version used is not Simutrans Standard the next winner will be considered. 2 - For EVERY participant: You can choose a game * from the following list (choosing will be made in order, starting from the first winner):

* Games are provided as Steam keys. Some keys may be region-locked in some countries; in such a case, you can choose a different game.

Voting Voting will be done on a wiki survey (I will post a new announcement when the time comes). Everyone (participants and non-participants) can vote, but you can only vote one time. If two or more videos have the same votes, we will select a winner, taking into account theme and guidelines.

Submission 1. First upload your video to a site where we can download it (a cloud storage like Nextcloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc...). 2. You don't need to upload it to a video site like YouTube. You can do it if you want, but we will be uploading the videos to the Simutrans YouTube channel later anyway. 3.
