2023 Map Art Competition
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2023 1:23 am
For the past two years now, I've helped host SimPvP's annual Map Art Competition! Each Map Art Competition has been a major success: 2021 saw 13 map arts and 47 voters, and 2022 saw 11 map arts and 44 voters. Yet again, the third annual SimPvP Map Art Competition has arrived for 2023. (Last year's forum thread can be found here: viewtopic.php?t=2930)
From March 1st, 2023 to April 1st, 2023, SimPvP players will have the opportunity to create and submit their very own map art creations to this official competition! The basic rules are listed below:
-All map art submissions must be 1x1; no more, no less.
-The map art must be created specifically for this competition; you cannot enter past map arts as valid entries.
-Basic maps of terrain, i.e. base maps, maps of spawn, etc., are not valid entries and are ineligible for the competition.
-Only one map art submission per player.
-In order to vote for the winner, one must donate one diamond block minimum.
-The voting process will begin on April 2nd, and will implement an approval voting style, meaning that players may vote for as many contenders as they choose.
-Map arts may be submitted by contacting an admin to take it.
The winner of the competition will receive the following:
-Their map art featured as a permanent fixture at spawn, replacing last year's winner.
-The contents of a free-for-all donation box, also located at spawn.
-All diamond block donations from voters.
-A special and secret prize from ostrich1414 himself!
There is no specific theme for this map art competition, but it is highly suggested that players who submit map arts put time and effort into their creation. Essentially: a solid grey map art with words on it is less likely to win against a well-crafted, intricate piece of artwork. However, as stated before, there is no theme--it is up to the approved voters as to who wins.
Once all map arts are submitted by April 1st, we will begin the voting process (more information will be given later), which will essentially rely on approval voting to decide the winner. The map arts will be placed in a special exhibition in the events world, where the votes will be meticulously counted.
