Thanks for the answer CP(and thanks for naming Ivorell by Blaidd, I wanted so hard to use it for best regional map but J.edward won my heart on this one).
Hey Thomas, yeah, we felt 'Media Ready' was a little vague and was covered already with other categories. I mean, something posted in Finished Maps is obviously 'media ready'. The categories Diamond listed are the final categories for this year. There won't be any changes.
Last year was our first attempt at this, and we felt we needed a couple of small tweaks (for example, dungeon maps were in with Town/City maps last year. That's been moved to structure/gaming category.) Once we're finished this year, we'll look at it again and see if any more tweaks are required for next year. It's just a matter of fine-tuning to try to make everything as clear - and as fair - as possible.

It's really too bad, that Warlin didn't post his map in the Finished map folder....
Impossible to nominate, right ?
Haha, it's really tough choosing sometimes, isn't it! Sometimes I feel like I've personally let down the people I didn't nominate.

Warlin, I had thought Jo was perhaps referring to either a challenge map or maybe a Guild World/Guild City map that you'd forgotten to post in Finished Maps, but I think he's referring to your Atlantide maps?
Even though the thread was started in 2016, you did post two Atlantide maps in Finished Maps during 2017, so they're eligible for nomination. Unfortunately the thumbnail scraper isn't going to be able to list them because they're buried deep in the thread, so if anyone wants to nominate Warlin's work, here are a couple of links...

The Melbourne city map was made in 1990 but was only posted in the finished map section in 2017. Thus, it is still eligible for nomination according to the rules mentioned in the first posts.
