Rules: Only rule is that you MUST submit a Progress Report by the deadline. If you are going out of town, submit it early. Progress report must reflect some real progress (at the discretion of the Committee). Failure to submit a report or make any progress will result in disqualification. Additionally, all maps must be started from scratch. Remember: This is being judged as a competition map! Plan accordingly.
Progress Report: Contains screenshots and details about progress made in the map. Let us know your ideas and thought process. What's your theme? What do you hope will set this map apart from the rest? Also include methodology details (what processes do you use to create a map), layouts, textures, object, clipping, and other interesting tidbits that up-and-coming mappers would be interested in hearing about. Email the progress reports to ftwscores@gmail.com and post on FTW forums (special section to be setup).
Map Contest Committee: Made up of FTW community members. Members of this committee may not submit a map or win a prize.
Prizes: There will be a Grand Prize along the lines of a spanking new, kick-ass video card. Runners up should expect to see prizes along the lines of headsets, keyboards, mice, and servers :)
