I don't see the point in just launching the map editor, especially when the forum is full of maps from various Varimatas and Danya Topov.

Varimatas and Danya Topov are treasures of success! Young, rising stars of mapmaking! Perhaps many will vote for their creations. As they say, young people always have opportunities! Young people are always honored!
But, as I see on the forum, in 2022, maps from other mapmakers were also released; I think there will be 10-12 maps, considering multiplayer maps as well.

The information is not secret; you can open the poll topics and see. In 2017-2019, 15-20 people voted, in 2020 - 10, in the Remix contest - 7-8, in 2021 - also around 10. I might be wrong; I didn't count exactly.

Currently, map topics are visited by hundreds of people per week, judging by the view counter. I think 10-15 people will participate in the voting, but I might be wrong.

Currently, the map-related topics are visited by hundreds of people per week, judging by the view counter. I think 10-15 people will participate in the voting, but I might be wrong.

Visiting the section and voting in the section are different categories of users. The difference between them is roughly the same as between a store visitor and a customer. Most visits and downloads are done without registration. If we consider the comments left on the maps, there won't be more than ten votes, and the comments are increasingly starting to resemble monologues in room No. 6. Accordingly, the validity of choosing the best map is questionable.

The thing is, 2022 has passed, and many interesting maps were released this year. However, there was no contest for this year. I don't know how many people will participate in the voting process, but it's obvious that if a contest isn't held, no one will vote.

Delvi, and yet 13ga is right. Do you know the ratio of guests (who don't vote or participate) to users? It's approximately 1 to 50. There is a certain threshold of invariance, where it doesn't matter whether no one votes or N people do. If you want, we won't hinder you; on the contrary, we'll help you organize and leave redirects. You can organize a Mapmaking Contest for 2022 and 2023; that's possible. For example, a one-time Mapmaking Contest for 2017-2019 was held on the forum and was quite successful. The best way to confirm or convince others is through practice, and we can certainly organize it.

If you want to – no one will stop you; on the contrary, we will help you organize it and leave redirects. You can organize Cartmaster for 2022 and 2023 in this way.

Well, 2023 is not over yet, and new scenarios and even Campaigns may be released. But a contest should definitely be held for the past year, 2022.
I think it would be better to create a poll similar to the one from 2021:

/topic/15608/
/topic/15609/
/topic/15606/

I'll make the selection of maps, but how do I format it into the actual poll?
