Great initiative!
I am a little confused with rule #6 (clicky).Quote: The entry must support the taking of screenshots. Unless an entry provides an alternative mechanism, it is assumed that pressing the print-screen key will take a screenshot of the game and save it to the clipboard. If an alternative mechanism is provided, it must be clearly documented in the manual.
Doesn't fraps or some other screencap solution solve this/make it useless?
That rule is taken from the 4e6 and 4e5 contest rules. Not all people have fraps (I think fraps costs money, but I`m not sure) and not all people have screencap software. Perhaps, if your entry does not support PrintScreen, you can put in your manual "Download this free software (LINK) and you can take screenshots."
Me, for example, I want to offer as a prize all games` review on some Czech indie game review servers. And those make their own screenshots of the game to make it appealing. They need to have a way to do that!
