I think that the map contests in their current form are unworkable, and after being inspired by other creative forums (particularly ConceptArt.org) I have come up with a reboot idea.
1) Rather then having a limited run, the contest is a continuous stream of map challenges.
2) We have a contest thread in which people post map contest ideas, and they are chosen either by some system of popular support or mod selection.This way we can have a wide range of different ideas.
3) Once the contest idea is chosen then the contest runs for a week/fortnight. Once it is closed the voting is done via public poll to choose the winner of that round.
4) No eventual winner or final round, rather you just accumulate wins.
I really like map contests, and I think this would be a good way to continue them.
Thoughts?
