Kpop Mapping Contest V is an unofficial standard-only mapping contest and one of my experimental projects that will uphold the biggest prizes yet. The format type for this year's contest is reliant to an individual mapper mapping a full spread of one K-pop song track out of the selected three tracks given. Because of the current mapping community and the reduction of ranked Kpop maps on chart nowadays, a mapping contest can be a great way to unify Kpop mappers as well as others that are interested. The main goal of this contest, despite being specifically Kpop, is to approach many mappers into enhancing their tendency to map a full difficulty spread themselves and improve their overall quality towards structuring levels from an Easy to Insane/Extra difficulties. Of course, this contest is open freely for everyone.
Registering as:
- Contestant: Will be permanent until the contest is fully concluded, you cannot re-apply as judge once you've confirmed your spot as a contestant. You will be mapping a rankable difficulty spread of three to four difficulties, and are also able to use any custom hitsounds desired as an entry. You will be submitting it as .osz file after you've finished your entry. After the three song tracks release, you have exactly 28 days maximum in order to complete your entry. Late submissions will automatically be disqualified for the judging phase.
- Judge: Will place you as Judge Applicant after confirming your registration. You will be taking a test evaluating your general feedback and mapping/modding experience differing from an entry to entry in accordance to the contest's Judging Criteria. Four qualified judge applicants will be chosen to the judging panel and be given anonymous sets after the mapping phase of the contest. Judges as well have maximum 28 days to complete their process, but can possibly be changeable depending on the amount of entries. Late scoring or unfinished process will be disqualified and not be included for result calculation.
- Community Member: Will be given no position in the contest participation unless the user reconsiders to be a Contestant or Judge before the registration deadline. This can also be treated as "Spectator". (Cannot be registered via form)
Prizes:
- The top entry for each song track: One year of osu!supporter for the mapper or a friend. The top mapset entries will also be brought to the ranking process, if able.
- The most estimable judge: Eight months of osu!supporter for the judge or a friend.
- Pre-registered members: Two months of osu!supporter for the member or a friend. Prize will only be obtainable if the member participates in the contest.
