Congratulations to the winners and a great thanks to everyone who participated. Your maps were all great. I know some of you received 0 votes on your maps, and I hope you don't take that as a sign your maps were bad or feel put of from participating in contest. But the truth is that quite few people voted at all (only 37) which means that there were hardly enough votes to go around at all, and taking into the account that the most popular maps did accumulate a bit more than their average share, this is just how the math works out. 8 maps ended up with 0 votes, and a further 7 with only one vote. So please don't think your map was bad, all the maps in the contest were good maps, but some were better than others.

And thanks to all of you for participating all these great maps for the community atlas. There are several new contributors among you, and I hope at least some of you will consider to continue contributing.

1. Autumn Getty - Coils of the Cold Coroner

5. Lillhans - Klodevig's Gauntlet

500. Wyvern - Fifth Summer Palace of the Winter Queen

======== THE END ========

So, that's it then. The deadline have now officially passed, and it is the end of the competition. Thanks to everyone who participated. I am going to set up a voting thread shortly where people can vote on the best map. I just need to collect all the images and provide a proper presentation.

Map notes only take 8000 characters, so longer text have to be broken down over multiple. Usually, I get a bit more than a page of text in each. I think Wyvern has the record with a 20-part map note.

Nah, I don't need a pdf file, I can easily make that from the .docx you sent.

What Wyvern states is correct. That time is to allow it to become March 1st in every time zone.

So, here's my entry. Full size version is in my gallery. And everyone else who want to participate and haven't handed in yet, remember that to participate, you do need to hand in your image in this thread before the deadline (end of February), don't forget.
