The Image Representation Contest

After the miserable fail of my last contest, I've decided to make a more convenient contest.
This contest will move along faster and be less of a hassle.
To start off I will post an Image. Each competitor will make a map that fits the general theme or feel of the image. Though, I don't want you to completely copy the image. YOU"RE NOT ACTUALLY MAKING NREALITY IMAGE MAP. Any kind of map can be submitted. Old maps can be used but you can't use other people's tilesets.
Anyone is free to join. For the very first round I'll give you twenty-four hours and then I will announce the winner. (The winner is the author who made the most wicked awesome map.) Then the winner will post another image and then wait up to a week(It's their choice how long to wait, 1 day, 2 days, 3 or 4 days. It's up to them.) and announce the next winner then that winner will do the same and so on and so on. No images can be posted that aren't suitable for all ages. Simple, huh?
Winners will be awarded a winner sig bar.
If anyone takes a sig bar without winning I won't be able to do anything about it but you will be greatly frowned apon.
Ok then, get to mapping.
winners...

Can it be a tileset? Because if it can, I would like to submit my tileset at
http://www.nmaps.net/167781. If it is to much alike then fine. I know it might be.

Hmm, I think it would work better if you gave an image, and everyone had to use THAT image, and make an image map out of it. It'd be cool to see how people use the perks of the image! That's just me though; your contest :p

I would suggest you use a 600x800 image.

Uh I guess the contests name was confusing. You're not making actual image maps.
You're making maps that have the same theme or feel of the picture.
Should I change the contests name?
:/

Yes you should. The first thing that came to mind was the Nreality image maps.

Also, please don't pick anything too similar to an existing map. I actually thought this was a photoshop tweak of crusades for a second, then I realised I actually blamed nico for copying that map. Apologies to him.

I would still suggest the pictures be 800x600 or 600x800, whichever is right. It just makes it easier on the contestgoers.

Maybe you should call it the map comparison contest or something so people don't get confused.

Taco you win for now. Sorry for the delay. Everything's gone slow with all this confusion.
Post a picture. I've decided to add a new feature to the rules. You can choose how many days to give the contestants to enter their submissions. It's your choice but It can't be longer than a week.
Also I've changed the contest name to "The Image Representation Contest". Hopefully we can all still find it.
