Change in the lite challenges philosophy

[Simkin]

Maybe the reason for low participation in lite challenges is "the competition" with others. We can try to do instead a challenge in a way that if the partecipants achieves a goal, earns the compass. For example:"draw a region and other 3 map related to that region". No vote at the end, only those who finish the process gain the compass or a different award.

I think it has more to do with the relatively small pool of people who do challenges regularly and the fact that many of us have three Silvers or a Gold compass already. For my part, I am perfectly happy still participating with non-entries, since I care more about the inspiration and motivation for practicing making maps rather than the medal itself.

I think Turambar's right; we're seeing many many fewer people join the Guild nowadays, much less participate in the challenges. It's just the way of things; forums like this one are dying, unfortunately. It's pretty impressive that we've stayed as strong as we have for so long.
