| If you had any doubts, the [Monthly Beatmapping Contest](/wiki/Contests/Monthly_Beatmapping_Contest) (*MBC*) is exactly what it sounds like: a mapping contest that runs every month. | ||
|
|
||
| Each month focuses on different game modes. The current ones are **osu!** and **osu!mania**: | ||

|

||
| ## Game modes | ||

| - [osu!mania contest listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/223) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Timeline | ||
|
|
||
| - **[Beatmapping](#beatmapping) (3 weeks):** Contest is announced and beatmappers create their entries. | ||
| - **[Screening](/wiki/Contests/Monthly_Beatmapping_Contest#screening) (1.5 weeks):** Entries are evaluated by experienced beatmappers. If there aren't many entries, this will be skipped in favour of a longer judging period. | ||
| - **[Judging](/wiki/Contests/Monthly_Beatmapping_Contest#judging) (1.5 weeks):** Top entries from screening are judged in detail by a different crew of experienced beatmappers. | ||
| - **[Rewards](#rewards) (~2 months from now):** Winners are announced at the start of another MBC. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Beatmapping | ||
|
|
||
| ### Limitation | ||
|
|
||
| Since this contest runs every month, we introduce extra rules (which we call "limitations") to keep things interesting. | ||
|
|
||
| This time, both osu! and osu!mania limitations are the same: **find one other mapper and make a map together!** | ||
|
|
||
| ...with a few more restrictions to ensure this runs smoothly: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Both mappers should contribute equally to the map.** | ||
| - **The [drain time](/wiki/Beatmap/Drain_time) must be at least of 2 minutes, not accounting for break times.** | ||
| - **Include each mapper's username in the beatmap's tags.** | ||
|
|
||
| Unlike most limitations, this one lets you make pretty much any kind of map you'd like. Enjoy the freedom while it lasts! | ||
|
|
||
| ### Songs | ||
|
|
||
| Any song listed on [osu!'s Featured Artist listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists) is eligible for this contest. Cutting songs is allowed too! | ||
|
|
||
| As per the limitation above, your song should allow for at least 2 minutes of mapping. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rewards | ||
|
|
||
| The Monthly Beatmapping Contest rewards users with [contest points](/wiki/Contests/Contest_points) based on their placements: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Winner:** 2 points | ||
| - **Runner-up:** 1 point | ||
| - **Screening crew's #1 pick:** 1 point | ||
|
|
||
| These numbers may be higher depending on how many submissions the contest receives. Check [the wiki article](/wiki/Contests/Contest_points) for details. | ||
|
|
||
| Contest points reward users at certain thresholds: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Profile badges** are attainable at 2, 4, and 6 points each. The badges are tiered, meaning each new badge will replace the previous one! | ||
| - ***Elite Mapper* [user title](/wiki/Community/User_title)** is attainable at 6 points. | ||
|
|
||
| Additionally, a [**Mappers' Guild keychain**](/wiki/shared/news/2023-08-29-changes-to-the-mappers-guild/keychain.jpg) is optionally rewarded to the winner of each month's contest. Its design is based on your beatmap! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rules | ||
|
|
||
| - **Submissions must follow the month's beatmapping [limitation](#limitation): find one other mapper and make a map together.** | ||
| - Both mappers should contribute equally to the map. | ||
| - The [drain time](/wiki/Beatmap/Drain_time) must be at least of 2 minutes, not accounting for break times. | ||
| - **Submissions must be a single difficulty from one of the month's [selected songs](#songs).** | ||
| - **Submissions must be in `.osz` format.** | ||
| - **Submissions must NOT be uploaded to the osu! website until after the contest's results are finalised.** | ||
| - **Submissions must abide by the [ranking criteria](/wiki/Ranking_criteria).** | ||
| - **osu!mania submissions must be 4K or 7K.** | ||
|
|
||
| Note that all submissions will be anonymised before they're reviewed by screeners/judges to avoid bias. | ||
|
