- Collaborations are allowed but you have to split the prize that is awarded. However, only one map per author is allowed.
- Maps created prior to the start of this contest are not eligible
- Make the map actually work! If the map does contain errors you won’t be disqualified though. You will however receive a small penalty in your score.
- You must submit your entry no later than June 21 at 11:59 P.M. EST
Your map will be judged by popular and judge vote. The categories being voted on are: Balance, Originality, Detailing, and Optimization. If you need more information please click on this link: Detailed information about categories
