Just maps with small fixes have been PMd. As I said, mostly a "rocks at gold" or "move geyser to other side of natural" changes. I wouldn't be able to tell you whether your maps have made it through as we (purposely) named the images by map and not author. It took me 10-15 minutes trawling through my inbox to get the names of the map authors who had maps which required minor tweaks!
um, 2/3 of my maps don't have rocks at gold but their positions are fairly open; or otherwise a rock blocking a straight path towards the gold.
I didnt get any PM, so i take it everything's okay?

Golds only need rocks when they are easy to take! It sounds like golds weren't an issue with your maps

Was my map disqualified due to lack of a map file?
Can't believe I forgot that...

Well, I didn't get any PMs so I suspect no bugs, or problems related to gold bases where found. Though I wish I knew if my maps had made it trough and if/if not what I should change to make them more awesome.
Edit: Anyway, good luck to everyone.

Just noting again, I think it's a terrible idea to let the community vote. To be honest, most people know jack sh*t about mapping or balance. Maybe get a top group of guys in Team Liquid or something. Just not the general public.

Agree, it's also easy to abuse such a system.

Mapper with most friends wins (or with most ip resets).

Yeah, would be kind of nice to have two categories, "Staff/Overall" (decided by pros/staff) winners and "community" winners (decided by public vote)

So, forgive me if I missed it, but how many finalists are there currently?

Adding to that: I don't think the majority of people would be able to hold true to the "Gameplay over looks" rule of thumb, and I am afraid that a map's eye candies or visual appeal will eventually become a big matter to win.
@Hassybaby: No finalists yet, 100++ entries are still being judged; and all of us have time till friday to make minor changes.

Hmm, so either my 1st map ever is solid, or too unfinished. I'm anxious to see which. =) I need to make a thread for it to accurately capture it's beauty and layout.

This is my first map, and for some reason the overview image came out grainy and washed out. Any advice on overview images? I'd like to maybe re-send a better one so it better reflects how awesome my map looks in context.
Thanks.

The best way is to go to Data ----> Export Map Image, and then you have to convert the .tga that it spits out into .jpg to upload to imgur.
These are the settings I use to export images:

Thanks monitor. That's what I did, I must have been missing a setting or done it in too low a resolution. I'll try again after work.

Oh really? Hmm.... yeah you might just have to mess around with the pixels (2500x2500, 2800x2800, etc.), but I haven't had a problem with it.

Also, if you have custom lighting or have altered the lighting settings at all, have the lighting window open while you export the image.

Disagree with this. If a map wins and the people do not like it, the Map most likely wont get/stay in Ladderpool.
Is there something like a overview how many maps hav been submitted ? Would really like to know that.

Because what the community wants has always been the most important thing for a map in the Blizzard Ladder pool right?
