    Default 2024 Atlas Awards Intro & Discussion

    Hi Everyone. It's time again for the Atlas Awards. This post contains instructions on how to do nominations so please read the post in its entirety before making nominations in the appropriate threads.

    The awards will cover all maps posted to the finished maps forum in the 2023 calendar year. The nomination threads should be up shortly after this thread goes up and will stay up for about 2 weeks (until Jan 27th).




    The categories for 2024 will be as follows

    Best Large area map (Space, World, Continental, Regional) - NOMINATE TWO
    This will be a heavily overloaded category, so we're asking you to nominate TWO maps, and there will be TWO winners. In other words, the first and second-placed maps will BOTH get an award (if there's a tie at the top, only the tied first-placed maps will win).


    Best Local area (City, Town, Village)


    Best Small area (Building, structure, space ship, dungeon)


    Best Black & White Map
    Maps in this category can be hand-drawn or digital, but they should be almost entirely black & white, or monochrome.


    Your favourite map from last year
    We want to see the maps that you simply loved most from last year. For example, you might feel 'Map A' is technically superior to 'Map B', but 'Map B' ticks all the boxes for you and you can't stop looking at it. That's what we want to see in this category, and any style is acceptable.





    Those are the categories and here is a link to view all the eligible maps.

    Atlas Awards 2024 Eligible Maps





    PLEASE NOTE...
    On the thumbnails page, if you click directly on the picture, it will show you only the picture. However, if you click on the title below the picture, it will take you to the thread. When nominating a map, PLEASE include a link to the THREAD, not just the picture by itself. This will save the CLs much time and effort when it's time to set up the polls. So your nomination should look like this (note that the map linked below is from 2020 and is not eligible for the awards this year):

    Please nominate up to two maps for the 'Best large area' category, and only one map for all the other categories.
    You cannot nominate your own maps.
    Please keep all discussion to this thread. The nomination threads are for nominations only.
    Nomination threads will close 4 weeks after opening, and voting will start probably a week or two after that, once we've compiled the poll.

    If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.
