Map Contest (Grand Prize $1000)

Postby Industrial Helix on Tue Jul 05, 2011 5:23 am

I dunno if anyone has seen this, but there is a map contest over at They Draw and Travel. There's going to be $2000 prize cash awarded, the first place getting $1000 and the other four at $200. The contest is to draw a map of your favorite place. The deadline is a little tight, but its feasible if you're quick, July 24th.

Check it out here: http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/contest

I intend on entering... so stay tuned to this thread for updates.

nice link - those are very different styles of map. Very little "map" elements to a lot of them - more art really. But I may take a stab at that. Not much time though -

I've got a draft and the final work penciled and prepainted. I'm hoping to lay in the main colors tonight.

Good luck! And yes, be sure to let us know if there is a public vote or something. It would be great if your art could garner support from the rest of CC :)
