Who will be judging?

We're going to be going with a new system of judging this round. We will be giving each of the members of the Hub Pub the opportunity to provide feedback for each of the maps. That's not saying that they have to in any way, shape, or form. Regardless, we will have feedback provided by myself, and a few other members who are close to me. The only way any of these individuals' opinions, on any of the maps, are void, is if said individuals compete.

Who wins?

Well there are four separate winners, under which is the prize that they will receive:

The most playable map.

The most aesthetically pleasing map.

The most creative map.

The best map overall.

Note from the creator of The LMC:

I'm actually quite proud of what the Lazy Mapmaker's Competition has become. LMC#1 shall never be forgotten, as it was one of many flaws, with a single diamond in the rough. Yellow. Yellow by Mallet was just unbelievably beautiful, with the aesthetics, the judges who were with me, and myself, spent a good 30 minutes trying to find any interlocking. There was none. LMC#2 is where the pride comes from, though. Mostly, because, there were a lot less people taking the term "Lazy Mapmaker's Competition" way too seriously. People actually started producing some really intuitive creations, and with that, I grew the pride that I now have for this competition.

So please, carry on with the non-interlocked beauties. Whilst doing so, remember that gameplay is a factor in this competition.
