The wonderful map hosts over at UnrealPlayground, have announced that they will be hosting a ONS Mapping Contest! I know this is late in the game but theres still time for you to enter! Heres the rules:

Rules and Requirements
*Contest ends Sunday, April 18th at midnight PACIFIC TIME. All entries must be received by this time. Allow plenty of time for your upload!
*For your entry to be considered, you must also PM me (click my username on the left above my avatar, and then select 'Send a Private Message...') the title of the map you wish to have considered. This is so we can separate the contest entries from non-contest, normal maps people will be uploading to our site. If you're entering multiple maps then get the titles to me however you like..in one PM or multiple; doesn't matter. These PMs must come to me by 1 AM Monday, April 19th PACIFIC TIME.
* For your entry to be considered, you must upload it to our map system. To use our system you must be a member of these forums, so sign up above if you haven't done so. If you haven't yet uploaded a map to our system, it may be good to test uploading one early to familiarize yourself with the process.
* Your map should be uploaded as a FINAL and not a BETA (this is a selection you make during the upload process), regardless of how finished you think it is.
* You may enter more than one map. Except Blito3. He can't enter any.
* Any nonstandard files needed to run the map (this INCLUDES the small texture pack we will provide..see a few lines below) must be included in the zip file you upload into our system. If we cannot run a map straight out of the zip then it will be disqualified.
* The theme is: No theme! That's right..run with this contest wherever you like (provided it remains an Onslaught map!).
* All entries must include our provided UnrealPlayground graphic in them.. we will try to have a simple texture pack up for you all by the end of the week (we can't make it until our graphics man gets his copy of the game )
* Some have started mapping the basics early..that is completely acceptable. If you want to import your work from previous maps for this contest then feel free to do so. If you use content you did not create, make sure you have permission to do so.
* Winners will be decided by UnrealPlayground staff - a panel of our reviewers will loosely judge the maps based on our UT2003 review schema and unanimously select a winner. Only maps received by the deadline will be considered for judging.
* Onslaught is a game mode targeted at decent amounts of people..we recommend your maps accommodate a medium load - somewhere between 1-2 dozen players. This is not a requirement; just a suggestion.
* Blito3 is in fact allowed to enter as many maps as he wants...so be afraid everyone! |
Check out the official thread in their forums to get all the juicy details. With Angel_Mappers Tutorial that she just posted about, and the VTM's in the SE of 2k4 EVERYBODY stands a fighting chance! |
