Let's do it!
Terrible idea
I'm not sure if this has been done before, but how about a contest where each person must pick a reference style based on one or more historical maps? It can be world/regional maps, city maps, building maps (e.g. architectural blueprints), or anything else people can find for inspiration.

I like this idea, though I don't know if I will have time next month as I have a very large commission.
Click my banner, behold my art! Fantasy maps for Dungeons and Dragons, RPGS, novels. No obligation, free quotes. I also make custom PC / NPC / monster tokens.
Contact me: calthyechild@gmail.com or _ti_ (Discord) to discuss a map!
That sounds like a great idea, also don't forget that the challenges are now running every other month so the next mapping challenge will be in February.
View my map and asset packs on CartographyAssets or DrivethruRPG. Support my work on Patreon. Take a look at my work on my Website or Instagram.
I still hope this one happens at some point...
