Prizes
The top 3 winners will see their best voted map featured on the front page.
(If there are less than five contestants this month, only the 1st place winner will have their map featured)
Bragging rights and a feeling of accomplishment!

Good luck, and if you have any questions, please ask!

The voting week has started for this month's monthly track contest!!!
If you wish to vote for your favorite maps, you can join the server titled "MTC-Monthly track contest voting!" on the TMall/MultiEnv titlepack.
This month's theme was "Switch" : Every map had to be built around the theme word "switch"

Make sure to award the maps you enjoy, here, on TM²X. And, most importantly, have fun!

This month's MTC is over. The votes for each map have been compiled and thus, these results came out.
The map that has received the best votes is dr_eugene's "SwitchPoint"

Congratulations to them!
