Where does it say that the organizers cannot participate in the contest themselves? After all, the decision is still determined by voting. **Ser9K, Ment**, would you like to participate too?

Well, technically, it isn't stated. But let's assume that one of us participates in a contest and even wins in one of the categories. And then what? Should we pay ourselves the prize? That seems a bit strange.

It's not interesting to reward yourself with your own prize. But can I add to the prize amount? Perhaps increasing the prize amount will increase interest in the contest.

it might even increase. Seriously, is money the most important thing in this?
I can say that if I become one of the leaders (which I suspect is unlikely), the organizers can use my prize money to buy themselves some sunflower seeds.

Heleg, thank you, but it's not necessary. Overall, I'm happy with the interest in the contest; there are a decent number of participants. If everything goes well and we get a map from each applicant, the contest will be a success.

doesn't that look like a poorly veiled insult?

It looks like a poorly veiled insult, don't you think? :(

I don't think so. I didn't intend to offend anyone.

Yeah, there are plenty. Seven people...

I was initially hoping for a larger number, but now I'm happy with this. Last year, there were about 15, but a good half of them didn't submit their maps (although some submitted two). Now, we can realistically expect to not receive maps from only one participant; I trust everyone else. So, the scale is quite good.

Has anyone submitted any maps yet? Will there be an open vote, like in "Carmaster 2010"?

Of course, absolutely. I currently have two maps. By the way, would it make sense to set a deadline so that people have something to aim for? I would suggest September 1st.
