- The track must have been uploaded on or after June 27, 2013 and before July 15, 2013.

- You are allowed to submit one track.

- Please use the DBS tag somewhere in your track name.

Judging will be done by a panel of three judges. They will each rank the submissions based on their personal taste. All three judges are track builders with experience in TMUF and TM2 track building.

The top 3 tracks will win keys.

- SCREENSHOT CONTEST -

Deadline: July 14, 2013 @ 20:00 GMT
3 Screenshots will win TM²Valley keys in this portion of the contest.

Something in the screenshot should be in motion, or give the feeling of motion. Use your imagination.

- You may submit only one screenshot.

- You can make changes to your screenshot until the deadline. Only your newest screenshot will be counted.

- You are not allowed to modify other people's screenshots for submission to the contest.

- You may use TM²S, TM²C, TMUF/TMNF, or ShootMania for your screenshot, or any combination of them.

- The resolution should be 1920x1080, 1920x1200, 2560x1440, or 2560x1600. All other resolutions will be disqualified.

- The screenshot must not have been posted publicly before June 27, 2013. If it is found that the screenshot has been posted publicly before that date, it will be disqualified.

Judging will be done by a panel of three judges. They will each rank the submissions based on their personal taste. Two of the judges are often used by track makers to make screenshots and have experience in this area. The other judge is an accomplished video maker who has himself won contests for his visual imagery in TrackMania.

The top 3 submissions will win keys.

RESULTS
Below is the results for all three contests. They were originally posted on the later pages of this topic, but I'm copying them to this third post for more convenient access.

DRIVING CONTEST

eyebo says:
As per the rules, drivers were only allowed to win one key for the driving portion of the contest.

If a driver were to take 1st place on two maps, then the 2nd Valley key would go to the driver in 2nd place on the track where the driver had the closest time to 1st place.

Well it happened. oNio took 1st on two maps. sandder was 0.054 behind oNio on BlueBaguette, and pacman08 was 0.077 behind oNio on Serpent.

So, the 2nd Valley key goes to sandder who was the closest to oNio's time.

Here's the full list of winners:

Track: "Serpent by   Phil (Canyon)
Winner: oNio (55.855)

Track: " Masters 2013 - BlueBaguette by   »RtA« wally (Stadium)

Below are the full results with scoring from each of the judges:


I didn't plan for the contingency that there could be a tie in the podium. But since there is a tie, I've decided to give them both keys.

Results for the building contest will be out soon.

BUILDING CONTEST

eyebo says:
More ties! This time a tie for 2nd place. According to the rules, I said I would give keys for the top 3 tracks, so I would not need to do more than the top 3. However, because of the tie, I've decided to extend the winners list to include the 4th place as well.

The winners of the track contest are:

First Place

(DBS) Heaven Ain't Close by   XT kruemelyeti

Second Place

DBS - Things To Come by   nevermind.wp

Second Place

Journeyman (DBS) by   basbaas»LT

Fourth Place
"Sidewinder by FunTrackers"


The full results:


I'll send the keys out immediately. Thanks everyone for participating and thanks especially to the other judges for taking their time to evaluate the tracks and screenshots!

Awesome compo! <3

I do have a question;
Can I ask for an angle shot? - I will make an in-game angle but my quality is not the best, and I don't know how to make spinning wheels.
