The premier mapping event for all vocal synth appreciators is here with the first iteration of the Vocaloid Mapping Contest!
The Vocaloid Mapping Contest (VMC) is all about finding and promoting VOCALOID, UTAU, and other vocal synth songs and artists that have fallen through the cracks. Our prototype contest last year was themed around Hatsune Miku for her 15th birthday, while this contest has expanded to a variety of fun VOCALOID songs!
Your goal for this contest: use one of the songs below to create the best VOCALOID beatmap possible (as determined by our judging panel).
And to make things more interesting, a special guest judge has joined us: legendary VOCALOID mapper tutuhaha!
Let's break everything down.

This contest is created by and for vocal synth fans to elevate the genre (and those who map it) to new heights. All mappers who participate will receive constructive feedback from some of the most well-known vocal synth mappers in the community, and that's a prize in itself!
Believe it or not, contests have rules to keep everything fair.
