Is it possible to make a decent map with Circle Size 0? Play the winning entries of July's contest and decide for yourself!
Monthly Beatmapping Contest (MBC) winners were decided by a community vote in the past. Now, winners are decided by a group of judges. If you're out of the loop, check the MBC wiki article for the latest info!
This month's 34 submissions were evaluated by a team of experienced mappers, resulting in the top 9 finalists. A different group of experienced mappers thoroughly judged the finalists and decided the contest's winners!

For the second month in a row, xbopost dominates the competition with his submission of Celldweller - One Good Reason! Judges were impressed by his display all around, earning him the highest scores in each judging category.
But that's not all! The mappers who chose this month's finalists — a.k.a. the screening crew — loved this entry as well! 9 of the 10 mappers put this entry in their top 5, so it's safe to say this entry is deserving of its win!
With two wins and the screening crew's accolades, xbopost has earned the second tier MBC profile badge and is only an inch away from the third tier badge and the Elite Mapper user title! For extra reference, the MBC points list shows just how close he is!
While he didn't win, nobody can say Mao doesn't have persistence! His maps have been finalists in each contest since February (that's 6 contests in a row!), and now he's earned a the runner-up position with Celldweller - Eon. His entries are always a blast to play, so give it a try if you're looking for something special!
Having won the screening crew's favorite in February, Mao has now reached the threshold for the first tier MBC profile badge. With his patience finally paying off, let's look forward to Mao's first place win soon!
That's it for July's contest! We're investigating more ways to reward mappers with the Elite Mapper title outside of contests like this, so look forward to some changes!
As per usual, all participants in July's contest have received a message showing how the screening crew viewed their entries. Thanks to Uberzolik, Gero, Regou, Nakano Itsuki, Agatsu, Myxo, Niva, Cheri, Nozhomi, and Sparhten for screening contributions, as well as Mazzerin, hypercyte, Nuvolina, Moecho, Rolniczy, and Seolv for judging this month's finalists!
Submissions for August's contest are about to close, so submit any last minute mapping marvels! Don't worry if you're too late though; a new contest will be launching at the start of September!
See you then!
