Welcome to the ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC) April 2019 hosted by Rexine!

In the MTC your task is to build a track on a given theme. Later, all the submitted tracks are rated and a winner is determined.

🍭Theme of the Month: Eye Candy🍬

Make the scenery beautiful!





---


Theme Rules



• The scenery will be judged based on originality, diversity, and looks (the amount of scenery isn't very important but if you're going for a minimalist style then it should be thoughtfully designed and very well executed)
  
• In the internal judging, the "detail" category will be determined only by the route. The scenery won't be taken into account
  
• Thematic scenery is welcome
  
• Make sure the map is playable. If it lags too much there will be a big point deduction
  
• The route will still be judged as normal



---


Allowed



• All environments and titlepacks
  
• Blockmixing
  
• Embedded items
  
• Custom time of day
  
• Mods
  
• TMUF cars

Not Allowed



• Press Forward, Left, Right, or similar tracks
  
• Maps that require Openplanet
  
• Trial maps (they're too difficult to judge properly)



---


General Rules



• You may submit one track maximum
  
• Duo tracks are allowed, but each map counts as one track for each author involved
  
• MTC should be present in the track name
  Examples: Mount Olympus (MTC) ; [mtc] Immaculate ; MTC – Shining Valley (check that any special characters do not break in the TM or MX track name)
  
• The track should be built in the most recent version of the game



---


Deadlines



• Your track should be uploaded before the end of Monday, April 29th at midnight PST
  
• Tracks submitted within the deadline will have April 30th to make any last minute edits
  
• Public voting will go from May 1st to May 8th
  
• Results will be posted May 9th at the earliest

Prizes

The main winner can choose to decide a theme for the June or July 2019 MTC (depending on availability)
Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I hope some still remember him? )
The top 3 winners will receive a showcase of a track of their choice (< 10 awards)

How to Submit



• To submit a track, upload it to MX and post a link to your submission in this thread
  
• You can update your track within the deadline as many times as you want
  
• Submitted courses may be updated within 24 hours of submissions closing, in case of any necessary last minute changes. New courses may NOT be submitted in this time frame
  
• Updating your track after the revision deadline has passed will lead to a disqualification. You are free to update your track once the results are published

Judging: Public and internal
We will use a mixture of 70/30 between internal judging and public voting if there is 1 public voter, 60/40 for 2-3, and 50/50 for 4+



• Everyone is allowed to judge, even players who submitted a map (your score on your own map will be removed, so give it whatever you want!)
  
• Every map will be judged with a decimal number from 0 (bad) to 10 (good). All votes greater than/equal to 7 or less than/equal to 4 require constructive feedback on why you gave it that score
  
• Note that you have to judge a stage entirely! You cannot judge only half of it. If you are not able to finish the map, your vote can still count! Please only leave that as a very last resort, and still judge the entire map fairly
  
• You need to verify your vote by making a post here (for example: "Voted ")
  
• One best and one worst vote for each map will be ignored if more than 10 people vote
  
• The overall score will be a mixture of the average public score and the average internal score
  
• You must have access to all environments and vote on all maps for your votes to count

Good luck!
