To continue to keep the world of Sourceforts an ever-growing, ever-evolving community, its important to spur
creativity among its players and hard working creators. As such we are holding a map making contest to try
to find the next best scrimmage style map. We hope that you all are ready to take on the challenge. Of course
the first question is, whats the prize!?!

The winner of the contest will be awarded $50.00 via Paypal for their glorious victory. Other individual
prizes may be awarded as well, it all depends on how creative you get. In the event of a tie for first place,
the cash prize will be divided equally amongst the winners.

The contest itself will be held from August 1, 2009 to August 22, 2009. Please try to get all your
submissions in by August 22, as to not delay judging. Final judging will be held on August 29, 2009, but
judging time may vary based on the amount of contest submissions.

We will also be having a judge selection, to pick judges for the remaning open spots. Contestants of the map
making contest itself, obviously, will not be allowed to participate in the judge selection, and vice versa.

For details on applying to be a judge please see below the contest rules.

Good luck and have fun everyone, we are looking forward to seeing what you all will create.
