+title: "Vocaloid Mapping Contest 2 & New Featured Artist: iroha(sasaki)"
+date: 2024-01-28 18:00:00 +0000
+---
+
+VOCALOID lovers rejoice! The Vocaloid Mapping Contest returns bigger and better than ever, featuring support for every game mode, an improved format, a bit of necromancy, and incredible music from our brand-new Featured Artist: **iroha(sasaki)**!
+
+
+
+Yep, you heard right. **iroha(sasaki)**, the artist behind the legendary VOCALOID classic *Meltdown* featured in *many* classic osu! maps, is now a Featured Artist (and the 400th one, no less)!
+
+*Meltdown* has already earned its place in osu!'s history with several popular Ranked maps, including [Diasios](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/25999)'s [early map of *Meltdown*](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/9070#osu/36814) from 2009, [ertyukjh010](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/220939)'s [map and unique storyboard](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/45672#osu/142590) from 2012, and even more recently [ohm002](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/4468239)'s [modern marathon](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1743736#osu/3564761) from 2022!
+
+Regardless of how popular *Meltdown* may be, it's far from **iroha(sasaki)**'s only song — we're happy to announce that **11** songs are part of [**iroha(sasaki)**'s Featured Artist listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/399)!
+
+
+
+
+
+***BUT WAIT!!!*** This is more than just a Featured Artist announcement!
+
+## Vocaloid Mapping Contest 2
+
+The [**Vocaloid Mapping Contest** (***VMC***)](/wiki/Contests/VMC) returns, and just like last time, it's all about spotlighting hidden VOCALOID gems!
+
+The last contest blew our expectations out of the water. **39 new maps** were created for never-before-Ranked songs from some of our VOCALOID Featured Artists. You can check out the results [here](/wiki/Contests/VMC/1)!
+
+Fuelled by the excitement and passion generated by that event, we couldn't help but return for another round. And this time, with the knowledge we gained, we've set our sights on making it nothing short of extraordinary.
+
+The mission remains unchanged for this contest: choose one of the incredible songs listed below and create a VOCALOID beatmap that will stand out above the rest. It's hardly an accident that this Featured Artist and contest announcement are combined — the VAT (Vocaloid Appreciation Team) scouted **iroha(sasaki)** as a Featured Artist for the very purpose of featuring their work in this iteration of the contest.
+
+In **iroha(sasaki)**'s own words:
+
+> I am just one person who loves music. That's all. It would be more than enough if I can help the "osu!" content flourish, even if only in the shadows.
+
+But we didn't stop at simply featuring **iroha(sasaki)**'s amazing music. We realised that this contest demanded a judge who truly understands the essence of VOCALOID mapping. Who better to join our judging panel than the extraordinary mapper of many osu! classics like [Kakuzetsu Thanatos](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/76396), **[NatsumeRin](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/151679)**!
+
+Want to participate? Here's what you need to know:
+
+### The big changes
+
+We greatly appreciated the feedback we received regarding the last contest.
+
+We're happy to announce that this contest is open to all **osu!**, **osu!taiko**, **osu!catch**, and **osu!mania** mappers! Our dedicated judging panels for each game mode are looking forward to seeing your work.
+
+- [osu! contest listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/199)

+- [osu!catch contest listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/201)
+- [osu!mania contest listing](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/202)
+
+We're also revamping the format to ensure that each entry receives high-quality feedback that meets our standards. Instead of having our judging panel give scores and feedback for every entry, the **judging panel will only judge the top 10 entries**. A team of equally qualified mappers will serve as [screeners](/wiki/Contests/Monthly_Beatmapping_Contest#screening), and will filter submissions down to the 10 best maps.
+
+**Any entries eliminated by the team of screeners will still receive feedback**, but from the screening team instead of the judging panel. This way we can give everyone, from newer mappers to experienced mappers, tailored and valuable feedback and advice they can benefit from.

+title: "Community Choice 2023: Voting Open"
+date: 2024-01-29 00:00:00 +0000
+---
+
+A new year dawns upon us, but let's take one last step back to crown the ten most liked maps of 2023 today!
+
+
+
+It's that time of the year again, where circle clickers, drum bashers, fruit catchers, and key smashers all gather together in a giant circle to ferociously debate which maps deserve to be recognised as the best of the best, in a trend as old as time itself (which some would call the "Best Of" polls in ye olden days).
+
+To be real, the giant circle meeting may not be a thing, but the actual voting definitely is. You have **10 votes per game mode** to cast on **any map ranked during 2023 that you have played at least once**. Each game mode's contest listing will automagically conjure up all the eligible maps that you can vote in.
+
+The top 10 picks will be dubbed as the *Community Favourites of 2023* as usual, with the #1 from each game mode bestowed a prestigious new profile badge and 6 months of osu!supporter, alongside 1 month of osu!supporter for each of the top 10 finalists.
+
+As per usual, we'll also be running the **Mappers' Favourite** award for each game mode, where we take the votes of anyone who has ranked at least one map ever into a distinct award to give the mapping community a proper say in what beatmaps really defined the scene last year. This all happens automatically, so make sure you cast your votes if you want to make sure your favourite maps have their justice.
+
+Before we proceed, let's go through a few mapping trends from the past year:
+
+- A total of **17,342** difficulties were ranked across **4,665** mapsets in all game modes, seeing roughly a **13%** drop from the year before.
+- **8,917** osu! difficulties were blessed with nominations from 2 Beatmap Nominators, with a **20%** decrease from 2022.
+- **3,345** osu!taiko difficulties successfully made it through their ranking journey, returning a recline of **23%** from the bygone year.
+- **1,050** osu!catch difficulties were deemed worthy to receive permanent leaderboards, matched with a **26%** drop from 2022.
+- **4,030** osu!mania difficulties got recognised as enough high quality to have an everlasting place in the Ranked section, with an astonishing increase of **34%** to continue the upward trend!
+
+The astute among you may observe a discrepancy between these numbers and [last year](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/news/2023-01-24-community-choice-2022-open)'s, but worry not, because we've simply excluded deleted maps from calculations this time.
+
+With that said, the overall pace of ranking maps may have slowed down a bit compared to the past few years, but it's still going strong and steady!
+
+Without further ado, there's only one thing left to do:
+
+- [osu! voting](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/195)
+- [osu!taiko voting](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/196)
+- [osu!catch voting](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/197)
+- [osu!mania voting](https://osu.ppy.sh/community/contests/198)
+
+Voting will stay open for **14 days** from the date of this news post, so make sure to not brood about which maps to vote on for too long!
+
+---
+
+That's it for now, best of luck to whoever ranked something in 2023!

+# Vocaloid Mapping Contest 2

+
+The **Vocaloid Mapping Contest** (***VMC***) is a beatmapping contest hosted by the Vocaloid Appreciation Team, and is all about promoting VOCALOID, UTAU, and other vocal synth songs and artists that have fallen through the cracks. Mappers were tasked with creating the best beatmap possible, and then having them judged by some of the most prominent VOCALOID mappers in the community.
+
+This second iteration of the VMC featured a new VOCALOID Featured Artist, support for every game mode, and the return of a legendary VOCALOID mapper as a guest judge.

+
+## Judging criteria
+
+| Criterion | Points | Description |
+| :-: | :-: | :-- |
+| Relevance | 30 | How well does the map fit the song? Do the elements of the map match the elements of the song, and is the map fundamentally inseparable from the song it is paired with? |
+| Creativity | 25 | How unique and outstanding is the map and the elements within it compared to the current mapping meta? How well does it stand out from the crowd? Does it evoke a feeling of "wow!", "that's cool!", or "that's super interesting!"? Generic mapping that copies the current mapping meta or concepts from other famous maps is discouraged. |
+| Expertise | 20 | This refers to how well the map executes the elements it presents, encompassing the technical skills of the mapper, as well as the map's consistency, structure, and style. Judges will score this entry considering the overarching picture of the map, and will avoid nitpicking small details. |
+| Overall Impression | 20 | The VOCALOID mappers participating as judges for this contest will all have personal biases with regard to how these songs are mapped. The judges will provide comments regarding the score they give. |
+| Hitsounding[^hitsounds] | 5 | Rankable hitsounds can give up to 2 points, but hitsounds that fundamentally add to the experience and complement the map in a unique way can give the full 5 points. |
+
+## Songs
+
+5 songs were selected by the staff from those provided by [iroha(sasaki)](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/399) for the purpose of this mapping contest.

+# Beatmapping și Editor
+
+*Pagina principală: [Centru ajutor](/wiki/Help_centre)*
+
+Această secțiune este dedicată problemelor legate de Beatmap Editor și beatmapping în general.
+
+## Cum încarc/actualizez beatmap-ul meu? {id=upload-beatmap}
+
+**Poți face asta prin editorul din joc.**
+
+Pentru a îți încărca beatmap-ul, du-te în editor și apasă pe `Fișier` > `Uploadează Beatmap`.
+
+Asta îți va face beatmap-ul disponibil pentru a putea fi descărcat de alții de pe site. Actualizarea unui beatmap are același proces pentru un beatmap deja încărcat.
+
+Fiecare utilizator are un număr limitat de beatmap-uri pe care le poate încărca simultan. Lăsarea unui beatmap inactiv timp de o lună (28 de zile), prin neactualizarea lui, îl va trimite în [Beatmap-uri inactive](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#graveyard). Pentru a readuce un beatmap din inactivitate înapoi în statusul de În așteptare sau În lucru, actualizează-l.
+
+## Editorul îmi spune că „Beatmap-ul pe care încercați să îl uploadați nu este al dumneavoastră!”. {id=wrong-author}
+
+**Asta se poate întâmpla dacă creatorul beatmap-ului nu este setat corespunzător în fișierele beatmap-ului.**
+
+În editor, fă clic în meniu pe `Fișier` , apoi `Deschide .osu în Notepad`. Verifică linia `Creator:`, sub secțiunea `Metadata`, și asigură-te că este setată exact cu numele tău de utilizator inclusiv majusculele.
+
+Dacă nu este, modifică manual asta pentru fiecare dificultate a beatmap-ului tău, după care reîncarcă beatmap-ul și ar trebui să funcționeze.
+
+Dacă încă întâmpini alte probleme sau dorești mai multe informații, citește [pagina de probleme BSS](/wiki/Guides/BSS_issues).
+
+## Sunt un suporter osu!, dar nu am 20 de sloturi în așteptare! {id=upload-slots}
+
+**Numărul sloturilor disponibile depinde de numărul beatmap-urilor clasate pe care le ai. Pentru mai multe detalii, citește [suporter osu! § limitele crescute](/wiki/osu!supporter#increased-limits).**
+
+## Beatmap-ul/conținutul meu a fost reîncărcat de către alt utilizator fără consințământul meu și doresc să fie dată jos copia! {id=report-content-dmca}
+
+**Te rugăm să depui o reclamație DMCA la [copyright@ppy.sh](mailto:copyright@ppy.sh) în conformitate cu [politica drepturilor de autor osu!](/wiki/Legal/Copyright).**
+
+Orice fel de conținut încărcat fără permisiune poate fi considerat o încălcare a drepturilor de autor dacă proprietarul original dorește asta. Solicitarea eliminării necesită o procedură legală pentru a asigura o procedură corectă.
+
+Te rugăm să **nu** depui o reclamare folosind fie [comanda din joc `!report`](/wiki/Reporting_bad_behaviour#in-game-chat) sau [site-ul osu!](/wiki/Reporting_bad_behaviour#website), deoarece membrii [NAT](/wiki/People/Nomination_Assessment_Team) și [GMT](/wiki/People/Global_Moderation_Team) care gestionează aceste sesizări nu sunt în măsură să se ocupe de probleme juridice.
+
+## Cum îmi pot șterge beatmap-ul? {id=delete-beatmap}
+
+**[Echipa de asistență](/wiki/People/The_Team/Account_support_team) nu preia cereri de ștergere manuală a beatmap-urilor.**
+
+Poți să îți ștergi singur beatmap-urile așteptând ca acestea să devină inactive, ceea ce se va întâmpla după o lună (28 de zile) fără actualizări.
+
+După ce beatmap-ul tău devine inactiv, poți să îl ștergi singur accesând [Pagina de discuții](/wiki/Beatmap_discussion) a beatmap-ului tău și făcând clic pe butonul `Șterge` care apare în partea dreaptă a ecranului după ce ai derulat în jos.

+
+**Pur și simplu fă clic pe `Descarcă osu!` găsit în centrul [paginii de start oficiale osu!](https://osu.ppy.sh/home). Poți găsi link-ul și în secțiunea derulantă `acasă` pe care o poți găsi în bara de navigație pe orice pagină.**
+
+De asemenea, [fă clic aici](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download) aici pentru un link direct către pagina de descărcare.
+
+## Înregistrare {id=registration}
+
+*Pagina principală: [Înregistrare](/wiki/Registration)*
+
+### Unde mă înregistrez pentru osu!? {id=how-to-register}
+
+**Descarcă osu! de [aici](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download), și rulează-l. Jocul îți va solicita o secțiune unde îți poți crea un cont nou.**
+
+Asigură-te că oferi o adresă de e-mail pe care o deții. Aceasta va fi folosită pentru a îți reseta parola și pentru a îți trimite e-mailuri de verificare când este necesar. Nu folosi un e-mail de unică folosință.
