Before we begin, I want to sincerely thank everybody for their support of this contest. No event makes it fifty iterations without genuine enthusiasm. I've thoroughly enjoyed running Map of the Month over the last year and a half and the imagination you pour into your maps never ceases to amaze me.

Until now, the largest contest was the inaugural Map of the Month 1, with seven entries. This time, we have an astounding twelve. Let's take a look at them without further ado!
 
Rambly
nothing is good

Anthus
Link's next Classic adventure will take him across one of the largest Classic overworlds out there.

Gouanaco
The Grey Dungeon was constructed by a great and powerful wizzrobe, whom in time died... and left his dungeon to be inhabited by beasts and horrible creatures... (This is just 1 of the many floors of the dungeon)

Master Maniac
It's come to my attention that this design has been used before... This is awkward.

Astromeow
Perdominoviommaniachi'd'quintistimoa

Zecora
Oh do come inside adventurer, my plants need their daily feeding.

Charizard
its not easy being green

Fireblast124
This is what happens when you give me ZQuest and make me make maps. Don't make me make maps.

Nexas
Kitties <3

Octorockoncrack
Welcome to the kingdom of Noctis - a land forever drenched in moonlight...

nicklegends
The current state of the map I've been adding to whenever bored. More details to be added at a later time.

WIP forest dungeon!
 
The contest will end on or near April 30th. Thanks again for a great turnout, and good luck to all. :)

Voted for Fireblast124, He used DoR very well and there is sky at the bottom of the map, Which is just awesome.

Wow, Anthus! I remember when you just started on the map. It was the bottom right portion, if I am correct. Holy crap, this looks amazing! :o I will play this game. :D

Good God. Nobody invited me to this party. Here are some comments for whatever reason:

 

Ramb: Solid pure map. The beach would look better if you made it less straight.

Anth: Dang. That's a big map. Good classic design with splashes of innovative graphics use all over the place.

Gouan: Cool looking map, although some of those corridors look a little too long, so I feel like it might get a bit tedious to play through.

Mast: Could use a bit more detail. Otherwise, just your average DoR screen.

Ast: Looks neat. It's always cool to see modern settings in ZC

Zec: Great GB dungeon. Looks like something I'd want to play through

Char: Reminds me a lot of the forest temple in OoT

Fire: Pretty good looking. What's up with the orange rock in the top left?

Nex: Good ol' revenge tileset. Pretty interesting gimmick for the dungeon as well

Oct: I like the palette use here. Cool idea.

Nickleg: The grass could use a bit more variation, maybe some dirt patches, but otherwise terrific GB village

Cool: You've come a long way. When you first started you were making subpar screens but you've really put a lot of effort in and it shows. This map is really good. I would add some more details, though. More wall torches, floor torches, pots, and statues.

Wow! So many maps :). I really like Rambly's, Anthus', Fireblast's, Octrorock's and Nicklegend's maps :). But Anthus got my vote.

Ramb: Solid pure map. The beach would look better if you made it less straight.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. It was kinda hard making the coastline more bumpy and natural-looking, though, just because of the way those FSA ocean tiles I used work, buuuut... they're too pretty to give up.

Thanks for the nice words, every'n.

This was a very hard decision... but you know, I'm going for Anthus with this one. It's one beautiful map, and with the classic set too! Goes to show that even the oldest tilesets can be made into something truly amazing!

Only two maps stood out to me: Rambly's which got my vote because of its complete nature. And Fireblast, which almost got my vote because it was beautiful, but I think that was the tileset talking. Rambly's usage of the GBZ tileset is great and impressed me.

By the way, I'm not saying I'm perfect at map design, I'm just giving my opinions, which may not even be right it the public view. If something is meant to look as it does, by all means, leave it. Change it if you want, as well. Whatever.
