I just got confirmation that it is Monday, November 7th. The OP is updated as well.

Yep! Fixed the submission date. Also, if a whole team of mapmakers makes a map, and it's the best submission, we're still going to pick it. You'll have to figure out how to split the hardware prizes, though. =P

IPL is continually impressing me with their community involvement. Awesome job, I'm excited to see this :D

heyho I want to submit my map, but I dont know where because i didnt read the OP only the headline, so i post the map here:
Name: Ursadak Valley
Pics:
+ Show Spoiler +
Features: + Show Spoiler +- 12000 Crittres - 5 spawn positions - Natural siegeable from main - No symmetry - All bases are gold - Some spawns have more mineral patches - Island spawnpoint without gas - Random destructible rocks - horizontal and vertical ramps
Balance: + Show Spoiler +I think overall the map is quite balanced. In Europe zerg has maybe a little advantage because of the small rush distances and zerg needs less building, so the critters are good. But if terran spawns at the island its pretty OP because floating buildings and many mariners. I try to give the map small tweaks to fix these issues. In general the balance comes close to 50:50. I tested it with my high bronze friends.

Hopefully Blizzard actually starts to take notice that their map making team is actually terrible and these community maps are the way of the future, just like they were in Brood War.

If so you can use the code [.date]November 7 2011 23:59 KST[/date].

We'll be lenient with the date. Just get them in on your November 7th. =P

From what I've heard, they don't have a map making team, and the balance designers just make the maps.

Haha, ya I'll be interested in that too. I think it was smart to do this on the heels of the TL map making contest, since you'll get more entries. But i'm sure people will be speculating all day about why some maps were chosen to win one contest but not the other.

Maybe that's why Blizzard contacted TL about hosting a map making contest, in which the prize would be getting your map on the ladder

Oh snap, best submit my entries already. Last day!

It's still the 6th for me!

Well, that's timezones I guess.
I have time to fix up one of my maps for a third entry if I'm up to it tomorrow (massively botched its submission for the TL map contest).
I'm just happy I got my latest map, VIP Parking, to a reasonable state in time for something: + Show Spoiler +

Hey Joshy, are we going to get confirmation when we send in our submissions? I sent mine earlier today. Also is there a link to follow the judging or will everyone just find out what maps are picked and when the tournament will be? Lastly, will the mappers get any other feedback on the maps even if they don't win or are not picked for the tournament? Your response would be most appreciated.

Managed to eke out 1 map in time for the deadline. Would kinda like more time, as I have a ton of WIP's, some I like more than others, but here is my map, Liquifaction.

@ MisfortuneS Ghost -- Kinda bold with those four golds on a two player map. More income rate but overall less resources. Interesting idea.

This is the last day to get your submissions in! If you have any super-sick competitive level maps laying around, now's your chance to see them put to good use!
