I knew this song existed back in 2019, but it didn't occur to me that this song could be used for a great Earth Day MAP. So, now that I've finally realized that this song is absolutely perfect for a short-and-sweet Earth Day MAP, I'm hosting it right now. Yes, it's January. And Earth Day is in April. But this is to ensure that participants have enough time to get their short parts done. This is a first-come-first-serve MAP, although I may be reserving slots for some friends & talented animators. And yes, this is an AMV MAP, meaning that all parts should be animated to the best of the participant's ability. There is a possibility that I may be somewhat selective even with the first-come-first-serve rule, so if you haven't been invited, I'd recommend that you provide a linked sample to a MAP part/AMV you have done. Thumbnail entries are also open to anyone, although there's a high probability that I'll be personally asking a talented artist to make a thumbnail for this MAP. If you want to enter for the thumbnail, you don't have to ask-- feel free to go ahead! All parts are due and to be completed by April 13th, 2021. No further exceptions nor extensions will be given past the final deadline. That being said, please do get your parts done as soon as possible. Just because the deadline is then does not mean you should procrastinate on your part until the deadline comes and then rush to get it done. Standard rules/common sense applies to this MAP. Nothing in your part is allowed to go against the Scratch community guidelines in any way, shape, or form. 2 parts maximum per person, although I will probably be restricting that amount to only 1. A maximum of 2 sprites per part. No backdrop animating will be accepted. Furthermore, all MAP parts should fit the standard theme of "Earth Day." Anything related to the purpose of Earth Day is recommended and acceptable.
