Nice work. I think this one turned out very well. You still have your zones, but the map looks very organic at the same time.

Map looks great. But I can see we really need to have Sue make more animals for us :)

You can still use html if you switch to the Wysiwyg editor. If not, you'll just have to put the hi-res link below the image instead.

Thanks for participating everyone. It is now November all over the world, so the challenge is officially over. Of course, if you are working on a map and it isn't quite done yet, we will still love to see it when it is done, and I would still love to have the map for the atlas even if it didn't reach the challenge in time.

I've now put up the 6 maps that were submitted in the first post of the thread, and added a poll there. So, please go back to the first post and cast a vote for which map you think was the best map from this challenge.

I'd like to thank everyone that did submit a map in time, and good luck with the vote. However, do keep in mind that this "best map" vote at the end is just an extra bit of fun. The main idea with this challenge is to challenge yourself, maybe to do something you haven't done before, or to improve your skills. There are people of all skill levels here in the forum, and it shouldn't be the hope of winning that determines your participation or not, but rather the fun of participating. Also remember, even if your map should end up with zero votes, it doesn't mean people didn't like your map, just that it wasn't anyone top candidate.

Please remember when voting that this is a mapping competition first and foremost, and while we all love beautiful maps, I encourage you to take into account how they've solved the task of actually mapping their selected location in the city when deciding who to vote for, not just the artistic merit. The street should be a representaion of what we see on the city map, but obviously, that is a simplified view, so some interpretation of that is certainly expected.

I'll leave the voting open until November 7th.

Red tint just makes it look weird.
