Welcome to the Monthly Track Contest (MTC) for June 2024!
The MTC is a track building contest hosted by TrackmaniaExchange which challenges you to build a map with a specific theme. Later, all the tracks are rated and a winner is found.
There are no prerequisites or qualification requirements to enter; just read the theme below, hop in your editor, and submit a track before the deadline!

Another new car, another month where I don't have to come up with a theme. The Desert car is out, so give it a try and then show us what kind of map you can make with it!

Theme: Hot Desert Sun

• Use the Desert car
  
• You don't have to use it for the whole map, so feel free to use other cars as well

General Rules

• One entry is allowed per user. Multi-author maps count as the single entry for all authors involved
  
• "MTC" must be present in the track name as it appears on TMX. Example: "{mtc} route 66" or "'Merica - MTC"
  
• All entries must be built using the latest version of the game
  
• All entries must be built specifically for this MTC
  
• Blockmixing, Offgrid mapping, and Embedded Items are allowed
  
• Texture mods are allowed
  
• Royal tracks are not allowed

If you have any questions or would like to contest a rule, feel free to ask!

Submitting and Deadline

• Submit your course to the MTC mappack before the deadline below
  
• Submissions may be freely updated within the submission period
  
• The earliest deadline for submissions is the end of June 30th. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread
  
• Everyone will have 24 hours after submissions close to make any last minute edits to their submissions
  
• After this, you may not make any more updates until after the results are published

Prizes

• Honour and the right to brag! (Jozii used to say that. I wasn't around then, but maybe some of you still remember him? )
  
• The winning track will be featured on the TrackmaniaExchange front page!

Judging

• For judging, we will be using a public voting system
  
• A server will be opened for about a week that anyone can play the MTC maps on
  
• Anyone can vote by using the server's karma system
  
• More details on this will be provided in this thread once voting opens

Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread or in Discord! Now then, get to building!

Submissions are officially closed! You've still got 24 hours from this post to make any edits to your map. Voting will start soon afterwards.

Voting's open on our 8 entries. The same changes from last month will be here again, starting with...

The MTC hangout session is back for round 2! This coming Tuesday at 8pm EDT, swing by the MTC room and we'll play through the MTC maps! It's the perfect time to play through the maps and get your votes in, and feel free to drop by the MX Discord voice chat for a bit of socializing. And if you want to vote, you'll need to know how, so here's how to vote:

Method 1: Room Voting
Nice and easy. Just hop into the MTC room and vote as you play!

• Go to the "MTC" room found in the TM Exchange club
  
• When you're on a map, send one of these vote messages into chat to vote:
  • -- = 1 point (bad)
    
  • - = 2 points
    
  • +- = 3 points
    
  • + = 4 points
    
  • ++ = 5 points (good)
• If you need to change your vote on a map, just send your new vote in chat. Only the most recent vote on each map is recorded
  
• The jukebox and voting are enabled, so feel free to request, extend, and skip maps

Method 2: Google Form Voting
Great if you like taking your time with the maps. This lets you give more detailed votes and even leave comments for the mappers!

• First, go to this form: https://forms.gle/QAoe1wGmyhiX7hsV8
  
• For each map, give a score between 1 (bad) and 5 (good). Decimals are allowed!
  
• If you have comments, add them after your score
  
• Example: 4.2 - Fun route, but boring scenery
  
• If you don't want to vote on a map, simply don't leave a score. You can leave a comment without a score, if you wish

General Voting Info

• Voting will last for at least one week
  
• The map with the highest average rating wins!
  
• Everyone can vote! If you made a map, your vote on your own map WILL be counted (feel free to give it a ++ !)
  
• You do not need to finish a map to vote on it, but please give it your best effort!
  
• You must vote on at least half of the maps for your votes to count
  
• If you liked a map, please leave it an award
  
• If you have any feedback, please leave a comment on the map's page

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, start driving and get voting!

Just want to say thank you for organizing the MTC, giving me an opportunity to show off a desert pipe map & also discover others' desert maps. Very fun, love this car

Congratulations to our winners!

Here's the link to the full results sheet, with comments included.

Thanks to all the builders and voters who participated in the contest!

There's not a ton of time left, but if you're looking to build then the July MTC is still accepting submissions. And if you want to drive, then in a couple weeks you can help us judge that same MTC!

Thanks again, and see you next time!
