The Theme
This contests theme will be Comedy vs Tragedy, so let's get theatrical! Display the funniest or most devastating moments you can think of in this game, staged or real. The twist? Comedy and Tragedy are teams! All players who submit a Comedy entry will be up against all players who submit a Tragedy entry. While there will be a first and second place winner, all participants on the side with the highest average score will win a small bonus prize! It's a battle for territory- who will win? Will joy prevail? Or will we all succumb to the darkness? Only you can help decide by taking amazing screenshots!
~Category 1: Comedy vs Tragedy
The primary category for this contest. Photos depicting Comedic or Tragic events happening to your player character or those around them. You may request the help of other players for this category, but it is a solo entry, meaning that only the person who submits it will receive the prize. Players who assist others are also allowed to submit their own entries. The usage of alts for these photos is allowed. Avoid showing text or names in your photos, focus on visual storytelling whenever possible. Photos will be judged on a 5-point scale by an impartial group, as well as on the Aesthetics Chart shown here.
First and second place will be determined by the impartial group. The aesthetics chart has the potential to award bonus points if your photo excels in the right traits for your theme (comedy or tragedy).
Example:
~Category 2: 4Koma Gag Comic
A bonus category this contest. In four frames, tell a story using screenshots taken in game. You don't have to hide names or text bubbles for this category, and the subject of the story can be anything you'd like, so long as you make a four-panel comic in MabiPro. You are allowed to edit your photos well for this category as well as superimpose images. You do not need to take this very seriously. All comics will be displayed publicly. All comic entries are solo, though you may borrow other people to make them. Players who assist others are also allowed to submit their own entries. The usage of alts for these photos is allowed. Photos will be judged based on popular vote, with only one first place winner.

Deadline
The deadline for entries is February 1st, after which the judging period will begin. The winners will be announced and the prizes will be given out on the First Day of the Anniversary Event. Prizes will be delivered via the mail system or handed in person if you are available.
Rules:
~Only 1 entry per category per person or group. You cannot submit 2 entries for either. If you do, we will pick the first one. You may submit one entry for each category.
~Two or more different players cannot submit the same photo. If you work together, you have to decide who is entering the photo. All entries for this contest are Solo.
~While mods for rendering or texture changes are allowed, no Hacking or going Out of Bounds will be permitted for this event.
~No photo manipulation is allowed for the first category, though you may crop your image, adjust light levels, or splice 2 images to your best ability. All photo editing is allowed for the second category.
~Multiclienting to get additional subjects or use an alt for the cameraman is OK.
~You may log in and play as your pets for posing and angling.
~Ideally, use ctrl+n to hide player names and chat.
Tips for taking a good photo
~Using a second client with a character that can play dead is useful for lining up good angled photos of yourself, rather than having the camera centered on you.
~Having a second client use a Tower Cylinder can provide an entirely unique angle and framing!
~ Press ctrl+N and ctrl+ P to hide names and parties, and use \ to hide all windows for a clearer workspace.
~Clicking outside the Mabipro window and using prtscr or a program like lightshot will get you a higher quality photo than mabinogi’s built in screenshot tool, and will get you a higher score.
~Using light sources well will improve your score. Some in game examples of unique light sources are lamp posts, handcrafted torches, magic music, blinker beams, and glowing trees.
~Props such as mimic statues, dropped items, housing furniture or tools, and Installed Alchemy structures can add extra subject and rhythm to your photos. Try it if you feel you need something extra!
~Action refers to what's happening in the scene. How are they interacting? Does the photo tell a story? Thinking about what you can do and how you can make it work in a photo will boost your score.
