RPGtonight (a free browser based virtual tabletop) is sponsoring the May Mapmaking Challenge at Cartographersguild.com. This month's theme is "Cut to the Chase!" in which mapmakers vie to create a map, for use on virtual or real tabletops, that can be the scene of an exciting chase and running battle for RPG miniatures. The contest is run at Cartographer's Guild (www.cartographersguild.com). Members critique maps uploaded to the Challenge section of the site as they are tweaked and detailed, then the winners are determined by popular vote at the end of the month.
First prize winner gets to choose three game related items from a long list, totaling around $150 in value. Second prize winner gets to choose two items, and the third prize winner gets to choose one.
See the Mapmaking Challenge section in the Cartographers Guild forums at www.cartographersguild.com for details.
