RobTop announced in the latest Geometry Dash Artist Reveal that there will be a NCS Gauntlet Contest with $3500 in cash prizes.

First place wins $1000, second place wins $800, third place wins $600, fourth place wins $400, fifth place wins $200, and 6-10th places win $100 each.

All of the top 10 will get an Epic, Legendary, or Mythic rating, and will have a spot in one of two NCS Gauntlets. The levels in each of these will be placed and played in order of difficulty, not by their placement from 1st to 10th.

NCS Gauntlet Contest Rules

• The main song must be from the NCS Library. It must take up at least 80% of the level's duration when playing from start to finish. This means that you can choose to mix in non-NCS music if you wish, but only for up to 20%. Note that you can use several NCS songs to fill up the 80% requirement, not just a single one.
• Game Type: Classic. Platformer levels are not allowed in this contest.
• Length: Long or XL. In other words, it must be 1 minute or longer in duration.
• Objects: Max 120K. In special cases, we may allow up to 150K objects if the level is optimized very well with a good Low Detail Mode. However, staying below 120K is recommended.
• Difficulty: Easy 2 Stars to Easy Demon 10 Stars. If your level is right on the border towards Medium Demon, it may still qualify.

NCS Gauntlet Contest Deadline & Submission

• The NCS Gauntlet Contest deadline is September 5, 2024.
• You can submit your entries with this submission form.
