Welcome to the Black Vultures Mapping Contest!

This time around we've expanded into osu!taiko in addition to osu!standard. Our aim with these contests is to expose metal music to the community with the opportunity to win prizes as well as creating maps to push to ranked status. We urge everyone to participate, whether you have participated before or not. Good luck everyone!

NOTICE: the osu!standard and osu!taiko contests are SEPARATE contests. Although the song pool is shared, the prize pool is not. Two badges will be handed out (pending), one for each game mode.

Schedule
All dates are in 12AM AEST.

13/09 - Song list release
15/09 - Submissions open
09/10 - Judging phase
23/10 - Results announcement
----

Rules

  1. Submissions must be singular difficulties only. Hitsounds are not required.
  2. This is a solo contest. This means no collaborations.
  3. Your set must follow Visual Content rules.
  4. Your beatmap must follow the general ranking criteria, as well as osu!standard ranking criteria or osu!taiko ranking criteria, depending on which mode you're participating in.
  5. Do not share or upload your entry to the site before judging has concluded.
  6. Your submission must be anonymous. Your osu! username must not be present anywhere in the beatmap before judging has concluded.

Hello guys! Per poll we ran on the discord server, we decided to extend the submission time by one week - this means submissions will close on 8/10 instead of 2/10. We hope you will find this extra time useful, and as usual good luck!

Hey guys! I just wanna clear up any confusion on the impact of hitsounds and storyboards on the "judge's impression" criteria. These optional elements of an entry will only ever score a contestant points and never will punish them for not having them. A judge might add points for including hitsounds/storyboard but will never remove points for lacking it. We will allow resubmitions if you wish to add hitsounds to your entry. Please DM me or Salty on osu! or Discord with an updated download link to your .osz and we will update it for you. We will be more clear next time around to avoid confusions. Good luck!
