Room of the Week - Discontinued, RotM coming April 1st, 2015

[squishy_ichigo]

Room of the Week (RotW) was a weekly competition where you submitted a screenshot of a room you were working on, to compete with rooms made by others. At the end of the year, we had a Room of Year (RotY) competition, where the best of the years winners were nominated to compete against one another.

This was one of many ways to showcase your WIP hacks and get constructive criticism. Not to mention it was fun! You could submit any 2D Metroid related screenshots here as long as you followed the rules.

But it got canceled, and now we have Room of the Month (RotM).

[spoiler=Rules]

• One Per Person - Only one screenshot may be submitted each week per contestant.  If it is a collaboration room, please state as such upon your submission. It will count towards the submission limit for both people. If a user posts a room for another contestant, he may still submit a room of his own.
• Format - Submit an editor screenshot of the room, not in-game screenshots. PNG format is preferred (please convert .bmp files). To use SMILE's screenshot feature select File→Special→Level to Bitmap. Submitting rooms with BTS and scrollscreens showing is discouraged. Use F3 to toggle BTS, and View→Options→Show Scroll Areas to toggle scrollscreens.
  
• Modifications - Screenshots may not be modified, with the exception of cropping blank areas or areas that can never be seen in-game. Submissions can not be updated once voting has started.
• Previous Works - Screenshots may not be submitted from 'Released' hacks, only 'Work in Progress' hacks. If you have submitted a screenshot for a previous ROTW, you may not submit this same room again without further changes to the room.

Those who do not follow these rules may not be allowed to compete in the future.[/spoiler]
