    Summer Scenery!
    In order to prevent Kyurem's attack we need to find Keldeo. Based on past Pokédex entries, the Sword of Justice is most often seen heading towards large bodies of water. If you can successfully photograph a place where Keldeo could be found, we may be one step closer to finding him.

    Rules and Info

    Photograph either a body of water or the kind of place Keldeo would visit! Whether you use a phone or a professional camera, anything works. At the end of the event, our team will judge the entries based on three categories.

    Category 1 - Composition
    This is how well the photo is taken. Interesting angles and solid lighting are essential to doing well in this category

    Category 2 - Editing
    Can you adjust the brightness, saturation, noise, and other cool parts of your photo? Doing so can really turn your photo into a masterpiece

    Category 3 - Creativity
    Did you take a really cool and interesting picture of nature and show us something unique? Unconventional perspectives and interesting filter use is the perfect way to stand out!

    - For verification, write your username on a piece of paper and hold it by the location at which you're taking your photo. This verification picture can be separate from your main entry and doesn't need to have the same angles, lighting etc. We just need the same general location to know it's you!

    Prizes and Deadlines

    We will pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each of the categories mentioned above!

    First Place in a Category — 50 Points
    Second Place in a Category — 30 Points
    Third Place in a Category — 20 Points

    Participation -- 10 Points + the Summer Scramble 2020 Participation Medal

    All entries must be submitted by 11:59 EST on July 31st, 2020    ​

    I took it because I had the opportunity today while out with @DoctorAlakazam while waiting to get cherries. This is at Sodus Point looking out to Lake Ontario. The Lighthouse is the signifying where Sodus Bay and Lake Ontario meet. This was taken by my phone, thus the quality.

    This old photo of mine was taken at Banaran Lake in Sukorejo, Kendal, Central Java. Going there was quite a challenge thanks to the 8 km trip on what you would call an off-road route, but still...

    Fun fact: the girl in the photo is me.

    I'm not sure if this counts as a "body of water", but it seems like a place Keldeo might visit, so...
    In 2015, I had the opportunity to visit a few places in Europe. If I remember correctly, on the day I took this picture, I was visiting the Hintertux Glacier in Austria. Towards the base, there was some meltwater making this little stream.

    Echoing what Jup said, I'm surprised you can use old pictures. I personally feel like that shouldn't be a thing; it should be just like the Fakemon and Armor challenges where you can't submit something you've made for another past event. Granted, I know that going out to take pictures can be a little troublesome given the current world circumstances, but using old pictures kinda kills the point of this event in my opinion.

    I think the main reason for this is due to the pandemic. Depending on where people live, heading out to locations like this may not be possible. Personally I have had massive heatwaves that made it really tough to even go out X_X I think this is a good compromise.

    Here is my submission, I have always preferred lakes and ponds to oceans and such. Might be my love for frogs

    Well had to shrink them, so had to go on my laptop anyway,
    this came out best, I made this while I was walking my dog and this is also the best I could do.
    Also sorta, seeing those great photo's, if I knew that was possible, I would have chosen a photo of my holidays, anyway. here it is

    Took this on my trip to Hawaii last year! Mountain lighthouse overlooking the sea, I think it'd be a neat place for a Keldeo to watch the horizon and ponder life's questions.

    There was a nearby creek, which seemed like a likely spot to spot him.
