Welcome to the first ever annual challenge! This is no ordinary challenge. As the name implies, the contest shall occur once per year and is a challenge for cartographers to offer up their very finest work. Consider this challenge as an ideal venue to unveil your magnum opus. The subject of the map is entirely up to you.
Contestants shall be given nearly a year's time to complete the challenge. The challenge shall be open until the first of December, upon which time all threads shall be closed and voting will commence (and shall end on New Year's Eve of 2015).
The winner shall receive a Platinum Compass. The next two runners up shall receive a gold compass.
Be sure to title your threads: December 2015 Annual Challenge: <your title here>
Also, don't forget to precede each work in progress picture with the label: ### Latest WIP ### This way the thumbnail scraper can find your entry.
May fortune smile upon you all.
