Welcome to the Official Map Contest.
This contest is to see the creativity of spriters at map making. I have been a fan of region maps ever since I first saw them in my Crystal game.
Now, I'd like to see the maps that you members can come up with. The possibilities are infinite, and your imagination is the only tool you'll need.

The map contest is a bimonthly contest with a different theme each two months (mountainous regions, diving regions, island regions, etc.). That contest's theme will be available for two months, and then it shall end. Winners will be announced the next day, along with the new theme.

If you do not know how to make a map, here is a tutorial:
Tutorial Part 1
Tutorial Part 2
This tutorial was made by Bulk, and altered by Wacko Jacko and Hegemon Locke Yggdrasill.

Maps will be judged on skill and creativity.
Here are the judges so far:

  1. Dragonfree
  2. Hegemon Locke Yggdrasill
  3. Blue Star
More coming soon :p

With the introduction aside, here are the rules. Read and obey, or be punished:

Rules

1. All maps must follow this template provided by Hegemon Locke Yggdrasill and edited by me:
NT.png



2. The maximum size for the maps is 700*700 (pixels of course). All land masses in your map must be surrounded by any type of water (refer to template).

3. You cannot enter another person's map. This is common sense, yet there are plenty of people who do not take art theft seriously. Doing this will get you banned from the contest immediately and permanently.

4. You are allowed to submit two maps at most. Any more and they will be rejected.

5. If you submit a map, and later fix it to make it look better, do not post the new version. Just edit your first post with the new map, and put a note in it which says the map was edited. Do this only if your map was accepted and you decided to change minor things, such as smoothing out edges. If your map was rejected, and then you fixed it so that it could be accepted, then please do post the new version, so that we do not overlook the edited post by accident. Do this only if your map was rejected.

6. Do not spam. This is completely obvious, yet the Forum still has its share of morons. SPAM and be banned. The length of your ban will depend on what you did.

7. Do not enter maps that do not match the current theme, they will be rejected.

8. Do not enter maps of already made regions, such as Hoenn, Johto, Orre, etc.

9. All maps must be saved in .png format.

10. Do not ask to be a judge. I, Dragonfree, and Hegemon Locke Yggdrasill will assign the positions to who we see fit. Break this rule and be banned, for a short time though.

11. Follow all the rules :p

Also, just to make it clear, anyone may enter. New spriters, veterans, and those inbetween. Though keep this in mind, the veterans will most likely win :p

Well, you will probably have to wait until 2:00 or 3:00 PM GMT.
If I'm not there by then, or if Dragonfree would like to start the contest earlier, then it will begin a few hours before that.

Well, a map-making contest. Well, I used to love making maps and would've preferred to be a judge but considering I can't, I'll enter a map I whipped up.

Here's Lugia and Celebi, Lugebi Isles.

Wow, a map contest. I've always wanted to learn how to do them, but I guess I got lazy XD.

-~*Escense*~-: The shape looks fine, but it's rejected. Once you add towns and routes to it, it will be accepted, as long as it's the right format of course.
Bulk: Looks fine, accepted. If you want to fine-tune it though, you should try removing the little brown corners on the towns and caves and stuff, since that is the brown from the template.
Silon: That map would have been perfect, except it's saved in .jpg. It must be in .png format, as stated in rule nine. Unfortunately, it's rejected until you save it in .png.
Wong Agung: Looks great, accepted.
Marowak XD: Looks great as well, accepted.

Yes, it does, at least for this theme. The next theme will be something different.
