Does anyone know when will the next GB mapping contest start?

I've seen the top 10. Very fair except for 2 maps whereas I really find them completely unfair to have been into it. Even then my map wouldn't reach the top at all anyways.

As I promised to some people that I would be releasing all of my content if I would have reached the top 10... Well yea what can I say, nope? I'll consider just creating models on from now on my own site where in due time the same equivalent content and probably better will be available.

As a last note, while I do find the top to be very fair, I am dissapointed in not being into the top. Probably the same for everyone, I really spend the work, time, motivation, model and texture creation that is worth up to the 3th or second place at least :-| Seeing some of the top 10 maps, I just learned that next time I shouldn't do that and just focus less on creating own content and stick with the same old 1000000'th times of overcopied stock props of Valve and just add some nasty overlays here and there with the traditional 4-square layout to make an 'impressive map'. I'm not angry, but I do complain xD

Anyways, it was still worth the shot, and I will improve and finalise the map from here on, I will release a light version with less than 50% of the current filesize, with all content being packed and with the already improved nav file. Workshop version is also coming soon.

Good luck to the top-10

Where did you get this info, if I may ask? I'd like to know how well my map did. :I Edit - nvm, I see it now.

Just my opinion but I think the public voting is a bad idea because people won't actual play the maps they'll just vote for the nicest looking one...

Agree, there should be a voting and a survey, to make sure people try the out at least or offer some support to their claims.

While I completely agree with this, I do think it's even more important to not change the rules after authors have already submitted their work.

Hi,

I think I totally misunderstood how the contest works :

After this date, all submissions will be reviewed by CEVO/GAMEBANANA and the top 5 maps will be selected by staff from the respective organizations. These top 5 maps will be showcased for public voting on www.cevo.com for the next 2 weeks until Tuesday, April 30th, 2013.

In fact, you are going to make the decision of the 5 best maps today and submit it tonight ?! And then people will be able to vote for the next 2 weeks ?

Tell me if i'm wrong, I thought submissions would be tested during 2 weeks by the jury, i really misunderstood ^^

Going to be top 10 afterall... Spoke to Jonny few hours ago, he already got some results...

Very confusing, I was wondering that as well. Do when do we know when the top maps have been selected?

Probably when they make an announcement showing the winners or w/e

Got some more info. As a matter of fact, the judges do have to play every single map, so don't worry.

I already know who won. The judges were very open during the server.

First person to believe my conspiracy wins.
