The SSRP Loading Screen Competition
It's time to update the Loading Screen background for 2016 and this time we're outsourcing to you guys, but you will of course be compensated for your time. Not only with rare items , but you'll also forever be known in ZARP folklore as the person who created the 2016 background for ZARP. We'll also use your image in other places too. Keep on reading to hear what we're after and what the prizes are too.
What sort of background do we want?
We'd like to focus more on what makes the ZARP server great this time around with an in-game screenshot. Ideally the screenshot would include a number of flagship ZARP game materials for example the ZARP map, explosive and special weapons, special player models, familiar in-game items such as printers, pots etc, large bases. You can use your own creativity though and include whatever you want as long as in meets the requirements section listed below.
What are the requirements for entry?
Because we want a great screenshot to represent our server and gamemode for months to come, there are a number of ground rules for creating your screenshot and entries that don't meet these rules will not qualify.
- Minimum resolution of 1920x1080
- There must be no text (or text screens), menus or HUDs in the image
- The image must be in-game or include a large number of in-game items and materials if you have another idea
- Your graphics must be on high settings with anti-alias enabled.
- You can edit the image, and use post-processing effects either in Garry's Mod or in Photoshop or other software.
- Any Player Models used must also be on the Server.
- You must be the original author of the entire image and agree to ZARP Gaming using your image on the loading screen and for other promotions.
Examples
Here are some great examples of High Quality Garry's Mod backgrounds. We'd love to see something similar to these but with a ZARP themed twist. (Click to enlarge the images)
What are the prizes?
The author of the chosen background, will in addition to their image being used on the SSRP ZARP Loading Screen receive the following set of rare items and cash on the server as a reward for their work.
$50,000,000 Cash Prize
A Rare's Case (From Halloween Event 2015)
A Mega Rare Gift (From Holidays Event 2015)

When does the competition end, and how will the winner be chosen?
The competition will run for at least a week (until Sat 26th March), however the competition will be extended at this time if we haven't found our perfect background yet. Because we want to find the best possible image to represent our server for months to come, the community team will pick a winner after the first week or at the time we see the perfect image. You can submit your entries and questions on this post.
Good luck!
