Want to win so cold hard cash and even get one of your maps published? Well step on up because it's time to put mouse to monitor and get mapping! This competition is being run in the Campaign Cartographer 3+ Facebook User Group. Feel free to join us!
The Contest!
• The objective of the competition is to map The Mad Looter’s main campaign setting continent – known as ‘Tasadon’
• The first prize for the winner is $200 AUD. Our intention is to publish the winners map in our upcoming Campaign Setting, Modules, Short Adventures and Adventure paths. The winner will also receive a free PDF of every product The Mad Looter publishes which includes this setting/map. You will also be formally credited in published products.
• The winner will be judged by the Principals/Owners of The Mad Looter
• As this is a bigger, more complex brief this will be a 2 month competition running for all of August and September 2018.
The Conditions
• Anyone is eligible to enter – you just need to create the map using Campaign Cartographer
• To be eligible for the prize you must be willing to give ‘The Mad Looter’ full commercial rights to use your final map and provide high resolution and source files. We need source files as some of the names of areas and cities are placeholder and may change before this is finalised.
• You must also agree not to sell or distribute your final map commercially, as it is based on our campaign setting and Intellectual property. You can feel free to share as an example of your work, use for your own gaming purposes or even share with friends for gaming – we love to see people playing in our world ??. We just ask that you don’t sell it!

What if a person makes a map that doesn't win. Are there any restrictions on how it can be used because it happens to be a map of your world?
Do you count uploading a map made for this competition (but which didn't win it) to FB or any other site just to show it off to your online friends as 'distribution'? The reason I ask is because most things automatically end up being distributed simply by existing somewhere online. Its the way of the world, unfortunately, that once its there, its a free grab (as far as a lot of people are concerned) - which is a form of distribution.
(I'm just trying to clarify this for others
Mind you, I avoid Facebook (and Pinterest) like the plague anyway, so am probably not the best-placed to comment!
Absolutely we could have commissioned a map - this is what we were going to do and we still may end up doing this. These monthly competitions have something that had been happening in the Facebook group for some time and we thought it might be nice and a bit of fun to support that community and give someone a chance to get a map published. Please be assured our motivation is to support the community and foster a bit of fun and friendly competition with a reward - but thank you for raising your concerns here so I could respond :-)
