All the maps are pretty cool but a choice had to be made. For me, it was Bogie, Cédric and Marc. Cool challenge as usual, thanks Mr Bogues

Tiana and Deeds both got votes from me for really hitting the mandate of mapping a song: both had songs with a lot of mapable content and got it in there. Mixerbach provided a map that was very thematically on point for the song very cleverly despite a lack of lyrical depth to depict. There were a lot of very pretty maps that didn't hit the "nailed the song" part so much for me. Also, thanks to Tiana for introducing me to a really good song!
Special side recognition to Bogie: you definitely created a great start for a nice-looking board for Viking-themed worker-placement game there. Just needs some mechanics-based stuff added...
Wow! Lots of great entries this month! Thanks for the great challenge, Sir Bogie. You continue to serve up the best challenges month after month and I sincerely appreciate that.
I didn't get on in time to thank you in my thread, but I just wanted to briefly thank the people who took the time to take a look at my entry this month and leave a comment. I sincerely appreciate the feedback.
@Cedric H. I've always loved the style of the Azgaar Fantasy Map Generator's political maps and I certainly took a lot of inspiration from them. However, my entry was 100% "home grown" in GIMP. rather than downloaded from the Azgaar generator.
As much as I like ThomasR's map, but I find it a little bit arguable if the Odyssey counts as a song.
Nice work everyone! Was tough making a decision.
