What is the Christmas Calendar Project?
The Christmas Calendar Project (CCP) is an annual mapping event hosted by ManiaExchange. Every day of December, up until Christmas, a map will be released as a little present on both ManiaExchange and TrackmaniaExchange. With over a decade of history, we are happy to announce the 2021 edition of CCP! Everybody can participate.
There is no judging, no prize pool, no winner, just pure mapping and having a great time.
If you are also interested into building for TrackmaniaExchange, check this
thread out.
