@Kaiphranos How long do we have left? I have an entry that's nearly finished; I'm just unsure as to the exact deadline and would like to make sure I can get it in.

I can’t speak for him, but usually the new thread is posted on Monday after noon UTC, so you have a good 24 hours IMO

You have about 30 hours from the time of this post. If you think you will be cutting it close, you can message me and I can wait a few hours longer.

Congratulations to @Ernak for winning MotF 205, whose map of "The Greater Republic of Turan" features a truly epic panhandle! And well done to all the other entrants as well - it was a very tight contest! We could be in for another one this time, as new threads are now up:
MotF 206: Goodbye Lenin - Voting Thread
MotF 207: Come Hell For Hot Water - Entries Thread
(Note, the portfolio for MotF 207 has been expanded somewhat from the initial proposal to allow for some more flexibility in what kinds of ports are featured. It might be ice-free, it might be on a different coast, it might be the only outlet for an otherwise landlocked country... or it might be a non-traditional port such as a spaceport. However, the entry should be clear about what port is being featured and why it is important.)

With only two entries so far, MotF 207: Come Hell For Hot Water is extended by a week, and will now end November 18th.
Seems like it, contest should end in 24 hours or so
I like this one! There’s particularly a lot of potential for many pre colonial countries.

Yes, as of right now. Does anyone else have an entry in progress? I expect to post the new round in about 34 hours.

Wait....if it survived longer than OTL, how come fantasy maps are allowed.
Fantasy doesn't mean it has to be set in a Tolkienish universe. If I have the time to post one, mine will be a fantasy map about Hawaii for instance.
I’m sure a map that shows a continuation of an established country that canonically gets destroyed in a fantasy or sci fi work would get accepted
I have made such a good map but waterpaint isn't detected by the scanner ;-; sorry, no Hawai'i protectedd by a magical storm until 1983 ;-;

You've got a couple of weeks to figure something out - maybe there's another way to get an image file of it?
Not really, and it honestly isn't very creative beyond the form, so making it with Gimp would be of no interest ... and I wouldn't want to ruin the physical form to get a good scan ...
An idea could be to put it on a decent setting and have a "photo of an exhibition from an ATL" kind of thing. It would certainly be very creative. We can always use more diversity on these things
