How are fan screenshots chosen for the FB album?

I notice that when I send in screenshots during a certain month, they often don't end up getting into the facebook album the next month (yes, I am using the correct email and I'm not editing my shots or anything dumb like that). I'm not exactly torn up about pictures of a game not making it onto a social media picture album, but it does make me curious- what is the selection process that rules some photos out? Or perhaps someone at KI just chooses a collection on a random basis?

Heya! We have a huge backlog of great screenshots that have been submitted to us for headers. (We have enough for several months and keep receiving more daily.) Generally we try to use the older screenshots first, but if there's a great one that comes in, we may push it ahead of the line.

If it doesn't show up in the album, that typically means we've reserved it for the cover at some point.

You've probably read it, but for anyone else who's interested, please check out our tips blog post for taking good screenshots: https://kingsisleblog.com/2015/08/19/taking-screenshots-like-a-pro-for-photography-day/
