After taking a trip down memory lane, I began looking through all previous texturing contests held here on the Hive. Predominantly, because I needed something to do and I thought to myself; why not “join” these contests now? Of course, we are a decade to late, but for my own entertainment, this could be real fun!
Below is a table containing all previous contests, with links to the contest threads, polls and etc. There’s also a table within each contest for “belated entries”, where finalized content will be posted. Personally, I’ll try to do the contests in the right order, from Footman and forward. I’ll try to stick to the rules proposed for each contest, but if need be, I’ll diverge or maybe even skip specific contests if they do not inspire me.
And please, if you feel like tagging along, just start posting your WIPs and when finalized, I'll add them to the belated entries! Or simply take a trip down memory lane and look through more than ten years of Warcraft 3 related modding!

Postscriptum
• If you find broken links or links leading you to the wrong page, please send it my way and I will fix it.
• If you find pages I couldn’t find – such as result pages for earlier contests – just send them my way and I will add them to the table.
• If you want me remove links to your content or profile page, contact me and I will remove it.
• If you have the time and willpower, collecting all judges for each contest would be an interesting addition. I will try to add this in due time either way, but it will have to wait for now.
• Belated entries are sorted by date of completion.
• Currently, the WIP links refer to the first WIP posted in this thread.
