Here are my winning picks from the screenshot contest, followed by my favorite runner-ups. Congrats to Zac Moore, Bob Builder, and Jax Kenobi, who will receive a copy of Uncanny Valley. I picked ones that I felt stood out well enough by themselves without needing a lot of context and I leaned towards ones that suggested there was some deeper story going on.
WINNNERS:
Zac Moore:

This has exactly the sort of subtlety to it that I like and that maybe something more sinister is going on in this neighborhood
Bob Builder:

I was somehow envisoning some sort of psychopath whose business with the cow still wasn't done.

People sent me a lot of ragdoll glitches, but I'm not sure any came close to the body horror that this one is.
Jax Kenobi:

Great pic that raises lots of questions. You can tell he's deep in thought.
RUNNNER-UPS:
Shark Tooth Bubs:

I'm really envisioning a crazy homeless person who has no qualms about stabbing you for trying to steal his brain.
Ville "jipostus" Lahtinen:

There's some dark stuff going on in this town.
Calvin Rieta:

Veni, vidi, vici.
LambdaPyro:

I may be biased on this one, but the timing seems to perfect, like the scientist never saw it coming, nor should he have expected that to begin with.
z z:

It's a little corny, but I enjoyed it.
Presence:

I actually didn't realize the significance when I first saw the screenshot and thought it looked interesting on its own. Finding out later that this is default gameplay gives a little more boost.
