The template prize has been confirmed. Do note, they collect personal information of First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number and Mailing Address. This is their privacy policy: http://www.secogaming.com/privacy
To celebrate my 5000th subscriber on YouTube, I am glad to announce a melee map design contest as the first part of a pair of contests I will be holding. The next contest will be a tournament held on maps made from this contest. Read below for more info!
DEADLINE:
Thursday, February 4th @ 1pm PST.
RULES:
The first part of the contest will involve designing a fully functioning and balanced (Map layout similar in all spawns) 1v1 melee map. The full list of rules are as follows:
1) THEME: Your map must follow AT LEAST one of these three themes. This is the most important rule and cannot be bypassed under any circumstance. The theme choices are
A) Zerg Invasion (Hint: Colosseum II is only a good start)
B) Decimated Earth (Hint: The destroyed Terran buildings/units doodads come to mind)
C) Found Temples (Hint: Lots and lots of found temples)
2) Use Map Settings IS allowed. BUT, the map needs to play out like a normal melee map. There can be minor triggers but please don't deviate too far from the original game. All units, buildings, and tech paths need to remain default. Also, NO COMPUTERS/AI. This is a really hard rule to explain as it is up to interpretation. Just keep the game very similar to the original
![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif)
3) The map must be 100% your creation from scratch specifically for this contest. While I cant verify every single map, if it is found to be somewhere else previous to the time of this post you will be disqualified.
4) The map must be a 2 player, 3 player, or 4 player map (2, 3, or 4 spawn locations). The map is going to be used for 1v1 only so please keep that in mind.
5) The maximum dimensions of the map must be 128 x 128. This is the one rule I may be lenient on but please make maps that are accommodating to 10-30 minute games. Any dimensions of your choice between 128 x 128 are completely up to you.
PRIZE: (Additional prizes possible in the future. See note at the top of this post about the prize.)
1st Place: Gaming Website Template from SecoGaming.com. (Example: http://testsites.secogaming.com/berea/starcraft/dark-red/). Use of map in map pool for next tournament. Text interview about your map for the next tournament.
2nd Place: Use of map in map pool for next tournament. Text interview about your map for the next tournament.
3rd Place: Use of map in map pool for next tournament. Text interview about your map for the next tournament.
NOTE: More than 3 maps will definitely be used for the upcoming tournament. There has been a massive response to this contest and the next tournament should be awesome
![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif)
JUDGING: Final decisions on which 3 maps win this contest will be decided by me for originality, enjoyment, practicality, balance, and whatever else I think makes it a great map. A poll will be held to influence my decision but not to make it for me.
Remember, there is going to be a tournament after this contest using ONLY the maps made by Teamliquid members. There will be tons of YouTube videos made and commentated by me for that tournament so your maps will get a lot of exposure.
If anyone would like to contribute to this contest please PM me with your idea

Questions? Comments? Please post them here.
ENTRIES: Note: Just because a map is listed here does not mean it is eligible for this contest. I will do as much research in the coming weeks as to the origins of the maps to find which ones do not meet the 'created specifically for this contest' rule.
