Otherwise, mappers scattered around won't really know there's a contest, and will miss out and be sad later on, just like it happened last year...

I second this, people the more guys get noticed for this event better is the quality or variety of the mappack!

I think I should hurry finishing those wooden carved boards I promised.

So far I have only 1. Would be nice addition as prizes these year.

Oh God please don't make last years errors. When the announce goes out it needs to be very clearly stated:
-End date for map submission (stick to this)
-Theme of the contest
-How the judging will be done
etc.

Someone needs to be in charge of this from the start and they need to be the contact person who makes the decisions. It was beyond a bad idea that every issue that came up ended up being a board discussion last year. It left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. paper and I worked VERY hard on our map and I'd wager put in way more man hours than anyone else and also brought something totally new to the contest that had never been done. Because the contest was so poorly thought out it could not compete against 'polish' of much more normal projects. Hey, if you want 17 more deathmatch winding path maps in six different themes then by all means advertise that. However make allowances for something new to be able to compete. You want fresh then you need to allow for that.

Or just make another map pack that everyone downloads and 2 people use.

Good point. I'm working on it.

Guess who it will be

With awesome you mean different? W00t? I hate ambiguity, and you gotta work on that!

Anyway, file me in! I guess I am better at UnrealEd (in terms of skills), and I hope I manage to make this map awesome! (but only you can judge my creations)
