MRTvision: Celebrating 10 Screenshot Contests is a program organized by McYoshi26 to commemorate ten editions of the MRTvision Screenshot Contest alongside the MRT Server's tenth anniversary and to determine the Contest's most popular entrant of its first ten editions.
Hosted by McYoshi26, the broadcast is a pre-recorded video that premiered on July 17, 2022, at 7 p.m. UTC on MBS. 35 screenshots from the MRTvision Screenshot Contest's first ten editions participated in the event.
The winner was Covina with the screenshot "Like a Shooting Star, I Will Go the Distance", taken by _Kastle, which originally won the MRTvision Screenshot Contest 7.
Production
The contest was first officially announced on June 21, 2022, by McYoshi26 on the MRT Discord and Wiki. McYoshi26 hinted at the contest with a voting poll that occurred in the #event-announcements MRT Discord channel on June 20, 2022.
The semi-final voting process was discussed in the #event-discussion channel in the MRT Discord, with non-selected options included first placers automatically qualifying for the final and simply voting a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' on each semi-finalist.
Venue
The special was hosted in the Central City Performance Center in Central City. The city was named the honorary venue of the MRTvision Screenshot Contest 1, but no ceremony was officially hosted there. The host venue was announced on June 26, 2022.
The venue was constructed by _frozen and is located adjacent to Central Park. The venue's location was selected as it was named the honorary venue of the first contest but had no official ceremony held there.
Visual design
The intro to the MBS broadcast featured the winners of the first 10 contests taking their respective winning screenshots. The broadcast's interlude features a montage of moments from the first ten contests. When each screenshot in the final received their placement, the graphics of the respective contest were played. The broadcast's outro featured host McYoshi26 walking through previous host venues for the first 10 contests and arriving at the Hamblin Shard Theater in Hamblin, the host venue of the eleventh contest.
Format
In the semi-final, willing voters awarded each of the 35 screenshots 0–5 points, and the top 15 screenshots would qualify for the final. In the final, willing voters a set of 12, 10, 8–1 points to their 10 favorite screenshots.
In the event of a tie in the final, the screenshot receiving the points from the most voters places higher. If multiple screenshots received the same amount of points from the same amount of voters, then the screenshot receiving the most of the highest point values (five in the semi-final and 12 in the final) places higher. If multiple screenshots also received the same amount of highest point values, then the submission with more of the next highest, all the way down to 1 point. If multiple screenshots had the same point breakdown, the screenshot later in the draw order is given the higher placement. Tie-breaks in the semi-final follow the same process as in the final, except for the exclusion of the first step counting the number of voters.
The semi-final was a non-broadcasted round, with the results being revealed on the Wiki.
The program and contest take inspiration from Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest and Sveriges 12:a.
