In this Thread you will be creating a Template of your couple, through words and pictures. If you want to be in the final six, you must stand out and try your hardest here.
~PLEASE READ~
By now you must know that in this Screenshot Contest you enter with two people, since it is a couples contest. Contestants may enter with a Male + Male, Female + Female, or a Male + Female couple. Your choice of what gender you enter with will affect you in some assignments.
Now here is the layout of the entire contest:
Six couples will be picked to compete in the actual contest which might span out for 10+ weeks so you must have the time. Do not enter if you do not have the time. Every week you will have one screenshot assignment. Every assignment is different and may have different requirements such as: Each person in the couple must pose in the same picture / Each person in the couple must pose separately in different pictures. Please watch out for this. During that week the judges will judge the pictures and rank them from 1 to 6, 6 being the best picture in the bunch.
There will be 10 or more assignments. For the first couple assignments we will have a progressive point system. Each assignment, instead of getting eliminated, you will get a score and each assignment after that, your score will get added up. Just because no one is getting elimination doesn't mean you don't try. Those rounds are the foundation of this contest. If you don't do good then, it will show and you will be eliminated first. The start of the eliminations will be random. There will be no warning. Your scores will transfer from the first couple rounds but do not mean your inevitably eliminated if you have the lowest score. So be careful and always try your hardest!
The Rules - (many of these will be repeated over and over again. I stress them a lot!)
Without further ado. Here is our
Applications: (please read each question and assignment carefully)
READ CAREFULLY
You must send this application through one email. There will be two portions to this application: a Writing Portion and a Visual Portion.
The Writing Portion will be split up into two portions: the Solo Portion and the Couples Portion. I suggest once on of you is done your Solo Portion you send it to the other person to make one giant application. If anything is missing, points will be deducted.

Yea, so all those people who said "someone should make a couples contest" where are you? Very discouraging to know that all these people who wanted this are now gone. So i'm hoping for a burst of applicants 
I would love to enter another screenshot competition, but ... life. Heh. Good luck to everyone, and I hope this goes ahead!
to see some new faces.
