The Metanet Contests Billboard

The idea: This thread is the place to check out all the latest contests going on in the community. It will prevent pinned contests from piling up and will allow users to see the most popular contests, their status, deadlines, relevant links, and so on. Having all the information in one place will also make it easier to follow and participate in more than one contest at once. Post here to get your contest advertised.

The format: Examples of advertised contests are given below. Contests will be sorted alphabetically and by status (Popular, Inactive, and Closed). Once contests are complete, they will be removed.

Notes: Only N-related contests will be hosted here. To find, for example, an image contest, check the appropriate forum. Before starting a contest, be sure to read the "About to Start a Contest?" thread. While this thread should help increase contest participation, please try not to clog the forum with contests. If you have a good idea and there are already many contests going on, hold off on starting the contest until others are over. You'll decrease traffic and probably get more entrants that way.

Topic reopened because the old topics won't be brought over.

http://nmaps.net/user/Riobe · Postby **Riobe** » 2008.10.05 (18:47)

Okay then, I'll get this going?

The Tilerun Competition

A basic contest for tileset makers to show off their tilesets and speedrunners to show off their talent.

Things we'll need:

2 More Experienced Judges
Signature and Sigbar Makers
32 Speedrunners
A Sufficient Amount Of Tileset Makers

Please help! There isn't an official date as to when this will start, so we need people for this fast!

There's also the nedReality contest. Geekhead says he needs one more contestant and one more judge to start.

Postby **Calcy** » 2008.10.06 (11:07)

Pinned, so that this stays at the top of the thread list. Good idea, Pheidi.

http://nmaps.net/user/KinGAleX · Postby **KinGAleX** » 2008.10.07 (02:26)

I added my contest to the billboard, Pheidi. Hope you don't mind. ^-^

Check it out, erryone!

http://nmaps.net/user/Pheidippides · Postby **Pheidippides** » 2008.10.08 (00:38)

No problem, KA. Looking forward to that one. I need to think of a game...

Postby **blackson** » 2008.10.09 (22:36)

Great idea. :D

Postby **Geekhead** » 2008.10.12 (20:38)

now all i need is one more judge :)

*if you want to be a judge after the positio is filled, you can take my place. just PM me

http://nmaps.net/user/bufar · Postby **bufar** » 2008.10.17 (02:57)

There is also the Paradigm Shift contest going on. All it needs is a somewhat steady stream of mapmakers for it to continue, possibly forever.

Postby **Geekhead** » 2008.10.24 (21:42)

if someone doesn't voulenteer as a judge in my contest by the next few days, than I will start it with only 2 judges

http://nmaps.net/user/bufar · Postby **bufar** » 2008.10.24 (23:45)

For the record, the Paradigm Shift Contest is in progress. However, the format of it requires a constant influx of entrants.

http://nmaps.net/user/Infernus · Postby **Infernus** » 2008.10.25 (05:20)

http://forum.therealn.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=504 is now running.

Edit: Thanks Pheidi!

Ah, I just noticed this topic now. Maybe this is why entries suddenly dropped off for the caption contest: it's not listed here!

Name: Caption Contest [Weekly]
Status: Active, provided I get the normal number of entrants
Deadline: Monday every week

Currently it's located here in the This Community forum, rather than this forum.

Postby **Why Me** » 2008.11.06 (02:30)

Here's mine. Finish the Map Contest. Even though the first round has started, people may still join in, judges may still join in, and map-creators may join in for the first round, or starting with the second round.

http://nmaps.net/user/Infernus · Postby **Infernus** » 2008.11.06 (23:47)

http://forum.therealn.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=504 is now over. Prizes are being shipped.

Starting.

http://nmaps.net/user/Pheidippides · Postby **Pheidippides** » 2008.11.09 (03:41)

The Billboard is now up-to-date and now includes a Neditor Nation entry because if everyone is still interested and we could just find a few more Judges the contest would be ready to begin.

Hosts: In the future, please provide information on the status of your contest and any deadlines I should add when you post. It makes it a bit easier to add you to the Billboard. Thanks. :)

I'll be starting a nreality tileset contest soon.
Thanks Pheidippides

http://nmaps.net/user/Pheidippides · Postby **Pheidippides** » 2008.11.11 (15:23)

Just be sure to post here when you have the details, Rikaninja.

Think Different® has started, and depending on the demo turnout, I may need a couple judges. Just PM me for details.

Round two of my Finish the map contest is almost done. Sorry I didn't post an update. The judging will start on Monday, and the third round will begin mid-week.

http://nmaps.net/user/incluye · Postby **otters** » 2008.11.18 (20:06)

Okay....I NEED JUDGES.
