Hello! It's been quite some time (well, not really),

I am not particularly proud of how my last contest ended. Most of it was due to how I managed it, especially being at a time in my life where I wasn't truly ready to commit myself to such a project. I definitely got way too ambitious, and I will admit I was not ready for it. Nonetheless, I can't just forget it and I still plan to compensate the winners, even if it's been so long, they still deserve something for what they were promised from me. But that's for another day, let's get this new contest started!

Welcome to my Multi-Box Contest!
If this contest seems familiar to you then you know that in the past I have hosted a few Box Contests in the past, and they were, without a shadow of doubt, my most popular contests. It is also very relative to a contest that has been hosted recently from Elibloodthirst, his Miniature Circle contest. That contest really sparked my interest in hosting another one of my own, seeing the success of another contest with a very simplistic setting, rather than a more complex contest with multiple rounds spanning for months.
I had the idea of the "Multi-box Contest" years ago, shortly after my last Box Contest, but instead I got too ahead of myself and tried hosting a contest that required much more time. A contest the required way too much commitment for anyone, for it to be worth it at all. So this time, I want to just keep it simple & sweet.

There is not a whole lot of rules and guidelines, it's really just how it sounds. But to get a good idea of it, everything you need to know will be below.

The whole point of this contest is to make a track "in a box", literally. The only difference with this contest is that there are multiple boxes and you will have to decide how you use each box. The only rules and restrictions you have are (the more 'strict' rules will be highlighted):

-You must use the code that I will be providing below
-Under no circumstance will you be able to change the size or shape of the boxes, it's the whole point of the contest. What I'm basically saying is, that the code I'm giving you is the code you must use. Using outside tools to move the boxes around is allowed, as long as they are not changed in size or shape.
-While changing where the boxes are placed is allowed, they cannot be overlapped or combined. You also cannot rotate the boxes, as this would be changing the "shape" of the boxes.
-Anything regarding changing where the rider starts and whichever box you want to start is up to you, if you know how to use the tools then you are free to use them how you want
-If you don't want the box to interfere with the track you are allowed to make them scenery lines
-Relating to the rules above, anything you make outside of the boxes will not have any influence on the scoring of the track. If you want to draw something outside of the boxes feel free, but it will not have either a positive or negative effect on your scoring
-Other than that, you are free to make whatever you want in the boxes you are provided. There isn't a specific theme or anything, so just do whatever you want!

So now we will get to the scoring, and what you will be judged for in this contest.

The scoring will be comprised of three different things:
The Ride: A total of 10 points.
The Detail: A total of 10 points.
The Storytelling: A total of 5 points.

1st, The Ride - No good track is truly appreciated without a good ride. Make a track that is good. For some, it could mean something smooth and easy or for some impossibly difficult. Like I said above, make whatever you want, but make sure it fits your track and has something enjoyable for everyone.
2nd, The Detail - It doesn't matter how good or bad you think you are at detailing, at least put some effort into it. Really push yourself to make something great. Look to others for some inspiration, ask for ideas, it doesn't really matter, just try your hardest to make it look good.
3rd, The Story - This will have a part in the scoring, but you shouldn't put your main focus into it, which is why it will not be scored like the ride and detailing. I really do appreciate some good storytelling in a track, and some of my favorite tracks have had an amazing story, but when it all comes down to it for any track, everything else come first for me. Every track should have a meaning and story of course, but as long there's a good track to go with it.

To break it down:
Ride will be scored from 0-10 points
Detail will be scored 0-10 points
Story will be scored 0-5 points

And your total score will be from 0 to 25 points.
I hope that makes enough sense. If not, and if you have any other questions, I oblige you to ask.

I will be the only judge for this contest, and all final scores will be judged by me and only me. Being a member in the Free Rider community for 12+ years, having fully explored the different aspects of this game such as trials, heavily detailed tracks, autos, etc... I hope you will all have enough trust in me to judge this as correctly and unbiased as possible.

Now, for the prizes. The good stuff.
The official winner of the contest will receive $30
2nd place $20
3rd place $10

Depending on how well the contest does, prizes are subject to change.
For example: If contest has good results, any tracks entered that are featured will get a $10 bonus. If it goes better than expected, prizes may be increased as much as receiving a forum badge and more cash.
If payments such as PayPal, CashApp, etc are not available, gift cards for whatever online store can be provided.
Anything regarding statuses like VIP or Elite Author are not up to me, but who knows.

Okay, this is the code you must use for this contest:
v8 v8 -v8 v8 -v8 -v8 v8 -v8 v8 v8,-1i0 -1i0 -1i0 cg,-3gg cg -3gg -1i0,-3gg -1i0 -1i0 -1i0,-1i0 cg -3gg cg,1bo -1i0 1bo 0 2to 0 2to -1i0 1bo -1i0,1bo io 340 io 340 2b0 1bo 2b0 1bo io###MTB

That's pretty much it for all the details besides one.
The due date for this contest will be June 3rd 10PM PST

If you want to be entered into this contest, just post in this thread that you are "In" or post a link to your entry. As long as you post your entry to this thread, you will be officially entered into this contest.

There is a week and a few days left before the deadline, I am going to make a poll to decide whether to extend the contest. Poll will last for a day.

Going to make some updates to the prizes and other stuff.

1st place will now get $40
2nd place will get $25
3rd place will remain $10
Honorable mentions (4th and 5th place) will also get $5 each.

Featured tracks in the top 3 will also get $10 added to their prize. I will try to get some cool badges for the winners as well, probably going to wait and see how everything goes.
Along with the prize updates, I've noticed people mentioning the size of the boxes and that they are pretty big. I'm going to allow deleting one of the outer boxes (not the center), with a -2 deduction to your overall score. Nothing really too crazy, just to help those having trouble. Just remember that 2 points to your score can be a big difference on your placing.

With all of the being said, I will also be extending the contest a month from the original date. I will be pretty busy during the first week of July, so the new due date will be July 8th 10PM PST.
I believe with the new changes and more than a month of extra time, this could be your next big track! Good luck to everyone
