If you have a great screenshot of your favourite game… too late, you missed the boat on this contest. Last week we asked every KitGuru gamer to join our Steam Group and send us their best screenshot of recent months. We were looking for funny, pretty or bizarre screengrabs and you guys did not disappoint.

Over the past seven days, we've been sent several hundred pretty amazing screengrabs from all sorts of games. The ones with built in photo-modes were of course popular, but there was a strong spread among strategies, action titles, shooters and role playing games. Most of them were excellent too, so it was quite a task to whittle them down to a top 10 and then two winners, but we did it.

But before we get to announcing who won, let's take a moment to congratulate the runners up. You all impressed us with your screenshotting skills, but didn't quite make the cut this time:

Camou did well with two entries in the top 10, giving us a beautiful shot of Hitman's world, as well as someone with much poorer aim than our protagonist.

compi03 compi04

Lara Croft made a couple of appearances thanks to Groza and Jill_The_Ripper. The former was a well timed shot of how pretty the rather rough and dirty world of a Tomb Raider can be, and another with Lara channelling her inner Link to deal with a chicken problem.

Rosenkreuz grabbed a great shot of their character in Dark Souls III, making their way towards Irithyll.

compic05

Alien Isolation might be terrifying, but far less so when the androids decide to play Twister in the middle of the Xenomorph infestation – thanks CrouchingBeaverHiddenSausage.

compic07

GoldenEye Source makes a grand return with this funny spot from HazNut.

compic08

OceansAteRobbie found a great moment in The Forest too.

But of course as great as these were, they weren't quite enough to steal the top spot and win a brand new game for themselves. So without further ado, let me introduce you to our two winners today:

Kiwi and Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen

This epic screengrab from Arkham Knight just had so much drama in it, with a lot of soft lighting that really stood out from the pack.

How could this gorgeous shot from the Witcher III not win? That's one of the best looking skies I've ever seen in a game.

Congratulations to both of you. We'll be contacting you each on Steam, but make sure to let us know which game guy guys want and we'll get the codes out to you in the next couple of days.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Thanks for taking part everyone. We're sorry we can't give games to all of you, but some of the budget needs to go towards my wages. You don't get high quality posts like these for peanuts.

Two weeks ago we launched the Steam KitGuru Group and within a matter of days over 500 people had already joined us. To thank you, our community, for supporting us we held a screenshot competition. Games were played, screenshots were submitted and the winners received their chosen games.

It means unicorn.

To continue the celebrations we are now hosting a new screenshot competition until 14th August 2013! So, here are some of the most frequently asked questions and the answers to those questions.

Q: How do I enter?
A: Head over to our Steam Group page by clicking here and follow the instructions in the announcement!

Q: Which games can I choose from?
A: If you are one of the lucky winners you can choose any game on Steam with the exclusion of publisher packs. If you choose a game that requires a subscription you will be responsible for the monthly costs associated with that title.

Q: The game I want has not been released yet, can I still pick that game?
A: Not a problem. If the game has not been released yet we will pre-order it and send it to you as a gift. On the day of release you will be able to access the game like you would normally.

Q: There must be a catch, so what is it?
A: There is no catch to this competition. You can submit up to three screenshots and we will pick a winner when the competition ends. We will then message you to get the game delivered to your inbox. No hidden costs and no purchase required!

Q: Are there any other rules?
A: Racism, hate speech, harassment and any other forms of harmful behaviour will result in a ban. No exceptions. We are happy to say we have not had to ban any users and we would like to keep it that way. Topics that are highly contentious and lead to flame wars are not allowed within the group, keep it friendly.

Over 1000 fellow gamers have already joined.

The competition will close 14th August 2013  and the winners will be announced by the 15th of August 2013. Please note that if your screenshot does not begin with KitGuruComp your entry will be considered invalid.
