I'd just like to check that the judging criteria, and the 3 vote thing is the same as the regular challenge?
We should be getting a new one started around the 15th of the month. It's not the first time we've skipped around the holidays. It just happens sometimes if everyone is busy.

We've actually been letting people vote for as many entries as they'd like for the last few months to see how that works. As far as judging... that's ultimately up to you as a voter. We provide guidelines and 'rules' for each particular challenge, but not everyone's esthetic is the same, and voting comes down in the end to a mix of what you like and how closely you think the entry sticks to the original brief. But again, that's your call.
Thank you, that clarified very nicely.
Another question, re: the rules...
I'm finding it very hard to get my colors to blend properly doing this *digitally*... but I have found that combining certain textures gives the effect/appearance I want.
Would a piece that relies heavily on these textures/patterns still be "original work" in terms of the challenge?
Would be, since you're working on some original piece for the challenge that you haven't worked before it.
Okay... just didn't know if textures/patterns were like... cheating(I mean, I'm not just pasting them on there, it's a lot of work, but I want to be fair!)
Is there any rules about moving an entry to one of the WIP forums after the challenge closes?
cheers,
Meshon
Edit: Of course I meant are there any rules...

I think it would be fine Meshon
Dumb question sorry I have been a lurker for a long time but not an active participant. If I want to enter this months Challenge June/July 2016 What day does my map have to be finished? I have read the 10th and the 15th. I want to be fair to myself before I enter my first map.
Thank you all for some wonderful inspiration and lessons over the years. I finally am able to take some time to try and map.
