About

The Map Challenge is a live world map where anyone can explore projects and country rankings for free, without signing up. To sponsor a location, choose a country, enter your website details and preview your marker before payment. A qualifying website link is published after payment confirmation. Sponsorships start at US$5 as a one-time payment, with no subscription. Each confirmed sponsorship adds points to the chosen country. Sponsors can download an image to share their country. The project is early and does not guarantee traffic, sales or SEO results. The long-term mission is to have at least one confirmed sponsor in every country.

We wanted to combine website discovery with a simple global challenge: give every country a chance to gain a sponsor while helping makers place their projects on a public map. Our long-term goal is to reach at least one confirmed sponsor in every country.
