Rumors say that you're the world's #1 mapper. Now's your chance to prove it.
For those out of the loop, the Monthly Beatmapping Contest (MBC) is exactly what you'd expect: a mapping contest that runs each month... for different game modes.
This month's contest is open to osu!taiko and osu!catch mappers.
Next month will feature a new contest for osu! and osu!mania, along with the results for September's contest (which is currently being judged)!
To keep things fresh, every MBC has a limitation that requires mappers to compete on an similar playing field!
Given osu!taiko mapping is pretty limited to begin with, this contest is opting for a more song-oriented challenge: your beatmap's song must be 240 BPM or faster.
osu!catch is taking a much simpler approach: your beatmap's star rating must be 5.00 stars or higher.
Apparently the winners of some previous osu!catch contests have been Rain difficulties that competed against a bunch of Overdose difficulties, so this limitation aims to bring all submissions to an expert-oriented skill level.
Any song listed on osu!'s Featured Artist listing is eligible for this contest!
If you're mapping osu!taiko, ensure that your song is at least 240 BPM, as outlined in the limitation above.
And of course, if you'd rather not map a long song, feel free to cut it to a shorter length!
The Monthly Beatmapping Contest rewards users with contest points based on their placements:
These numbers may vary depending on how many submissions the contest receives. Check the wiki article for details.
Contest points reward users at certain thresholds:
Additionally, a Mappers' Guild keychain is optionally rewarded to the winner of each month's contest. Its design is based on your beatmap!
If you're looking for a lawless contest, wait for the next Aspire. In the meantime, pay attention:

Note that all submissions will be anonymised before they're reviewed by screeners/judges to avoid bias. During this process, storyboards and backgrounds may be removed, and for osu!taiko, elements that don't affect gameplay (such as object locations in the editor) will be standardised across all submissions.
That's enough reading. Create your mapping masterpiece, then upload it to one of these pages:
You have until the end of October to submit your entry. Good luck and have fun mapping!
