Fill in the LDC Alphabet!

N - No test contest. I'm thinking of a level design contest, which doesn't allow the creators to test their levels before entering. It might be a stupid idea, lead to highly unsatisfying products and be hard to pull of (everybody would need to record the whole process of creation), but I don't know... would love to give it a go

H - hashtag level design contest

level creators cannot submit their level and must instead upload it to social media with the hashtag #SMW. you must then simply hope that the judges find them

I - imagery level design contest

contest participants will upload their level by submitting a series of screenshots of the level. the judges must then piece together what is happening and "play" the level that way. this is a great way to do a contest since so many people have significant experience judging levels through pictures alone already

J - Jazz Jackrabbit - Candion level design contest

all levels must use this port or they will be disqualified

K - kinda level design contest

participants must sorta create a level, mostly before the deadline. then most of the judges will maybe judge your level, and then trophies will somewhat be handed out someday

L - lawsuit level design contest

M - median level design contest

this would be the same type of contest we normally have with the same rules. however, the person who scores exactly in the middle of the pack will receive the 1st place trophy, and so on so forth (with true last and true first both scoring last)

N - new level design contest

the novelty of this contest is that it is brand new, which is great for the staff since they'll never have to host this contest more than once

Same as 24hosmw but you get half of the time to make the level.
Duo Level Design Contest - Must work with a partner.
Unfinished Level Design Contest

You aren't allowed to finish the level.
D - Double Level Design Contest. There are two rounds. The first one is open and the other round is for anyone who makes the cut. Everyone must make two levels in the first round and another one for the final round. Anyone who makes just one in the 1st round gets disqualified. If you're unable to finish the 2nd level, you can resign. Anyone who withdraws or gets DQ'd in the final will be placed at the bottom of the list of who made the cut.
F - Forest Level Design Contest. Would sound less weird than 'Xyloid' and it'd work as well.
Funky Level Design Contest. Everyone must make an enjoyable level that uses green berries, which add 20 seconds.
I have a Discord server as well! (by joining, you agree to the rules)

how come we had Summer and Winter Level Design Contests but no Spring and Autumn/Fall Level Design Contests smh
Hinalyte Level Design Contest
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Koopa Level Design Contest

All the enemies in your level must consist of Koopas
Tribute Level Design Contest - Must make a level that tributes to other games, judged on how the referenced game is recognized by judges + how design is executed. To make it fair there's only a few 3 or 4 targets designated and the judges are trained on possible references already.

Fixme Level Design Contest - The host submits a level that's been ranked last at another LDC and contestants must improve it while still preserving the level owner's idea.

Scenery Level Design contest - No enemies and no time limits, just a hero wandering around and finding beautiful scenery thrown all around (it overlaps with Aesthetic LDC).
I think MLDC would be Mixed Level Design Contest, where people make and submit levels based on which LDC rules they want to choose—either Old-School (No custom resources, Lunar Magic only = Final Destination), Vanilla (Lunar Magic + SA-1 + Custom Map16 + AddmusicK), Base ROM (Same as Vanilla, as well as the assets included in the base ROM (custom blocks and sprites, and graphics from other games)) and Chocolate (Lunar Magic + custom resources (incl. ASM and Music)).
