Surely this can't turn out poorly... right?
Submission link: https://forms.gle/mKzE4SqKRZtYoWRF7
Music: Beton by C418

Theme:
Your level must be able to paint a narrative. More importantly, you must be able to tell a cohesive story without spelling it out; any Pastebins, TwitLongers, video descriptions, or other external forms of documentation that explicitly reveal the storyline are disallowed. Additionally, no ingame text is allowed within the level.

Rules:

1. Text objects and fonts and explicitly banned from this contest. Runes or other pictoral symbols are allowed, as long as they are purely used for decoration and don't actually say anything.
2. You are allowed to use any whitelisted song on Newgrounds. No NONG submissions, please.
3. The level must be at least one minute long. There are no restrictions on object count.
4. Any difficulty is allowed for this contest.
5. The level must have an ID greater than 73000000.
6. The term "para CC1" should be mentioned in the description of the level.
7. Maximum size for collabs is three people. Any winnings from collab levels will be evenly split.
8. Videos are required for all submissions.
9. Your level must be submitted in the aforementioned Google Form link by December 31st, 2021 at 11:59 PM EST to be eligible.

Breaking any of these rules will get you disqualified and sent to the electric chair. Violating the theme will result in an immediate disqualification and me going to your house and menacingly standing outside.

Guidelines:

- My super secret team of judges and I will put heavy emphasis on how well your level can paint a story. Other criteria that will be judged are gameplay and decoration, although these may not be as heavily considered.
- Extra points may be added depending on how elaborate your story is without losing the narrative.
- Songs with lyrics are allowed, but we might dock off points as we see fit.
- There is no suggested difficulty for this contest.
- Functional LDMs are required for levels higher than 80k objects.
- If you happen to submit multiple submissions, only one of them can place.
- Have fun with this! It would help immensely to focus less on how good your level looks and moreso on immersion.

Prizes:

1st Place: $50 (and the best damn night of your life)
2nd Place: $25
3rd Place: $10
4th Place: $5 (and bragging rights over 5th place)
5th Place: $5

Note: Prizes will only be handed out if enough people end up participating. If you don't have PayPal, I am open to working something else.

If you have any additional questions or follow-ups don't hesitate to ask in the comments or contact me on Discord (para#3834). I'll try to update the rules as fast as possible.

Good luck to all that participate!
