After a long hiatus, the Monthly Beatmapping Contest was rebooted in January 2020 with a brand new schedule, ruleset, voting procedure, and reward scheme. Many aspects of the competition were dramatically altered to make the contests more engaging and attractive, in which some of them were as follows:

• Instead of a single song, the contest now offers a selection of songs from different Featured Artists each month, in which all participating mappers are free to map and submit their entries for.
• Participating mappers now only have to submit a single difficulty instead of a complete mapset.
• Participating mappers now have to adhere to a certain mapping theme and/or limitation set in the ruleset, such as "Star rating may not exceed 4.00★" or "Every object should overlap another object".

Best of/Community Choice

The Best of/Community Choice contest is a public voting contest that is being held annually to determine the most popular beatmaps in the eyes of the osu! community at each given year.

At its launch, the contest was named "Best of", as the initial premise and expectation of the contest was to encourage members of the community to vote for what they consider as "the best beatmaps of the year"; however, as the game's playerbase continued to grow in number over time, the contest was inevitably shifting more and more into a popularity contest each year which prompted the contest to be relaunched as "Community Choice" in 2017.

Newspaper Cup

The Newspaper Cup is a mapping contest that is similar to the Pending Cup in nature but with a much greater emphasis on novice mappers. As with Pending Cup, the contest is also being held yearly by prominent members of the Chinese mapping community and has since been developed from a contest that was particularly intended for the Chinese-speaking members of the community to a global-scale contest.
