Photocomp

[W89_PL]

I want to ask about photocomp. Is there any chance for a new users to win this competition? Because I see only the same person’s winning every week. Holden8805, Night Viper, Tjhoeker (100% agreed) they have amaizing pics but some other persons are there as well with nothing “super” in my opinion. I have seen something on Instagram of FB that Turn10 choose only person’s with 5k followers or someone popular who is long time on forum or they are winners with Racing Comp. How about that? Please don’t get me wrong. And dont write here any haters stuff. I just want to know is there any procedure every week or something?

I can tell you first hand that it’s possible, I first won in a Horizon 3 photocomp, then later again in Motorsport 7’s photocomp 6. I’ve only won twice, but it’s super gratifying to win. I have noticed a certain few people that get featured multiple times quite frequently, but I don’t want to point any fingers. You may get frustrated when you think you should have won when you compare your stuff to something you see that isn’t too great that T10 picked, but if you have skill and patience, you’ll make it. I did.

I have entered only one time into the photocomp and I was also among the chosen ones - so, yes, everybody has a chance.

This is not true. Photos are judged anonymously so T10 doesn’t know who the photos belong to when they are looking at them.

Yes I noticed that in info about photocomp. I just said that I have seen this once. It’s okey now and congratulations for the winners.

Just to remind you, i will partially quote here what wonderpill already told you, in one of your forzathography topics.

@Wonderpill

Typically they will choose a photo that fits in with the story that they are doing. In that way, keeping your head wrapped around what is going on with the game, and what is rolling out, sometimes can give you an edge.

Also realize that extremely artistic photos, are not chosen.

Photos that cannot be cropped easily, to remove the Watermark, will not be used as the splash image for the WEEK IN REVIEW, so if you take that into consideration when taking your photo, realize what needs to be cropped out, and if the focus of your photo fits inside that area that would be kept, that is another positive for your photo.

Also realize that Turn10 attempts to maintain a happy, and enjoyable theme. Dark images, images that contain sloppy liveries, or even Over the top liveries, tend to get ignored.

If Turn10 is going to highlight anything, it is that people are enjoying the game. If your picture that you enter, can encompass that feeling, can be cropped, is not dark, and contains no weird paint jobs, you are 90% of the way towards winning.

As you see, its not necessarily the best picture winning, but the best fitting certain criteria. Hope this will help you

Thanks jungsten. I understand that 100% because every week I use theme like everybody else. For example last week I chose Chrion pics (probably they was not good enough). 2 weeks ago I chose cars from DLC. Maybe I just thinks that my pics are good (at least once or two) but there are maybe bad or they have something wrong. But thanks for helping.
