As you probably know, you'll spend hours in Beyond Good and Evil® with Jade's camera, shooting pictures of animals, plants and beautiful landscapes. So why not use this time to make a nice screenshot from the game that would illustrate the beautiful world of Hillys? Take your time, choose the best scenery, get the right angle and take a photo that's worth a thousand words. Then just send the screenshot to users@gog.com by Thursday, April 2 at 11:59 p.m. EDT and we'll choose the one that takes our breath away. The winner will receive a free game from GOG.com's catalogue. We'll announce the lucky winner in the community update news on Saturday, April 4.
EDIT: You have to own the game on GOG.com to enter the contest.
EDIT 2: The winner is jema, with the aesthetically pleasing little gem attached below. :)

Is there a limit to how many shots we send in one email? I understand if you wanted to limit contestants to 5 shots each or something, or is it just one?

The logical would be to have the same rules as the IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 plane skin contest: "submit as much as you like, but please don't spam"... though I don't know if the rules actually are the same.

Feel free to flood the "users" mailbox with your works :)

if I used a free game code, does it still count?

Yes it does. You have the GOG.com version of the game.

Does it have to be straight from the game? Or can we touch it up a bit first, colour,lighting,cropping,tilt_shift, etc...

Not everybody knows how to touch up images or simply doesn't bother doing it, so let's remain with original screenshots.

Ok, stupid question time...
How do you take a screenshot in this game? I've tried the usual print screen key + paste into paint, I've tried SnagIt, MWSnap, and IrfanView.
None of them work. :(

I usually use an app called GrabClipSave that works for most everything. I've not tried it with this yet though but I don't see a reason it won't work

It isn't working for me. Fraps seems to be running fine, but every time I take a screenshot, all I end up with is a totally black image with no picture at all. wtf?

Try PrintKey 2000.

Wikipedia may have a workaround.

Well I managed to take shots with FRAPS quite nicely, for a while. Not sure if its a demolimitation or not but it seemed to stop taking images every 10 minutes or so and I'd have to tab out & restart it before I could capture again
