I miss mapping contests, mainly from tnet pl site where we had mapping contests based around certain theme once in a while. It produced one of the best pieces of mapping to this day i still have some of them saved on my drive even tho most of them are lost media now. Anyone feeling the same? Some basic rewards like premium or forum emblems i think everyone would be happy. Mappers getting fame, us getting to see them do crazy stuff with the new graphics.
some of those were themed around venice for example:
153mz2t.webp
dyodj6.webp2mxh3qh.webp

2eq80sp.webp
 
Rewards or no rewards, could be a fun idea to make alive again!

- Hard to collect consistent enough mappers to join.

- Quality map is time consuming, and many are still mapping after many years of development for their own project.

- Limited to a theme i understand but it doesn't make it easier.

- You know when Neon joins and others from similar tier that your not going to win anyway. Which may take away certain challenge/achievement for others.

But yeah some really cool maps were back then...
 
Mapping contests are fun, but I think it'd be better to do "theme of the day" or "theme of the week" type showcases.
