A: The song will be revealed with the start of the contest it's genre is artcore and the song isn't going to be long, it'll be around 2 min!



Q: How does this contest work?

A: This contest works like this: You will have to find a minimum of 1 friend and maximum of 3 friends (This is required since unity is the theme of the osu!International server and this is what is being created here by inviting your friends to join) to gather together and map a full set of the given song. This can range from a Easy and Normal difficulty spread up to Normal, Hard, Insane and Extra difficulty spread (this solely depends on your team size!) After that's done, you send over the .osu files to me. Everything is then compiled and judged!



Q: If I apply as a judge, but don't get chosen ... can I still participate?

A: Yes! there are no restrictions in how you participate in the contest, if you don't get chosen as one of the judges you will still have at least 4 days to apply as a contestant with a team!



Q: Can I make a Mania/Taiko/CTB set?

A: No! this contest is only for the osu!std mode only! Although other mods may also be included in future osu!International contests depending on how this one goes.



Q: Can I just map a single difficulty mapset?

A: No! This contests theme is revolved around unity and teamwork, therefore mapping a single difficulty without a team is breaking that rule!



Q: Can I collab the diffs with my team?

A: Yes! You can collab every difficulty or map 1 each, 2 each or 1 and a half each. The choice is up to you to decide! Collaborations are allowed and even encouraged!



Q: So what if there are only 2 of us in the team?

A: If you cannot find more people or others are already in a team, then you could map 2 diffs each or collaborate on each difficulty! You may also choose to map all 3/4 diffs.



Q: Can I use my own custom hitsounds?

A: No! The reason for this is because the entries are submitted in the .osu format. You may only use custom hitsounds provided by us in the contest .osz!



Q: What are the winner prizes?

A: The winners are going to receive supporter badges and the first place mapset is going to be pushed into the ranking section! I will also try my hardest to provide a profile badge to the winners, there will most likely be only one profile badge provided to the team captain but nothing is confirmed yet!
