Article 3 – How to participate

Participation in the contest is free and does not require any purchase. To participate, each entrant must:

Use Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to take one or more in-game screenshots that match one or both of the following themes:
- Theme 1: “Feet on the Ground – Secret Garden”: This theme invites you to explore hidden, peaceful, or mysterious places, discovered at ground level or low altitude in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. What we’re looking for:
  - A low-angle or ground-level view, possibly from the cockpit or drone camera.
  - A calm, intimate, or nature-filled atmosphere.
  - Focus on details in the immediate environment: flowers, secret architecture, morning light, mist, soft shadows…
- Theme 2: “Magnificent from Above”: This theme celebrates the grandeur and beauty of the world seen from the sky. Fly high and capture the earth from a breathtaking perspective: majestic mountains, swirling clouds, glowing cities at night, winding roads, infinite oceans… The goal is to showcase the awe-inspiring view from above, as only Flight Simulator can offer.
  - What we’re looking for:
  - A high-altitude, panoramic shot.
  - A powerful visual composition with striking colors, contrast, or geometry.
  - A clear “wow” factor — something that makes viewers stop and stare.
Post the screenshot(s) in the dedicated Discord channel titled “Flying is Sharing”, between June 10, 2025 at 10:00 AM and June 22, 2025 at 11:59 PM.
