Periodical CS:GO Map Making Contest are now happening over at /r/CSMapMakers

Hello everyone! I'm a moderator for a relatively new sub at Reddit. Over the past month we've been organizing smaller contest to give mappers an idea and deadline to work with. Today we began our first big contest. I figured I would post it here for anyone who is interested in participating.

Here is a link to the thread if you are an active Reddit user and I've also quoted the contest rules below.

Contest Rules

The boards creek, these holes in the walls and the attic is mostly dust. You've seen a house who's years have brought it to the brink of demolition. Now it's time to bring it to CS:GO! Your mission is to build a large house (or small mansion if you prefer) that will act as the battle grounds for a demolition map. You can make the outside part of the play area as well.

November 24th - December 24th, 6pm (GMT 0), 12pm (CTZ)

Theme: Decrepit House

Map Type: Full demolition layout. Detail optional.

Creation Rules: All entries should be built from scratch! You can enter multiple times if you like but you'll be competing with yourself it you do! Submissions should be available for download on the workshop by the deadline set for the contest. Once the deadline is finished please do not update the workshop map until the voting period has ended. Any third party materials must be credited! You can work together with another person and submit and entry as a group!

Once you've made your map, upload it to the workshop and submit a link in this thread!

Voting Period: December 25th - January 1st, 6pm (GMT 0), 12pm (CTZ)

Good luck everyone!

We are working hard to build an active user base that will partake in contest and discussions over at /r/CSMapMakers so if anyone here is interested, please join us! In the future we are going to have Live Hammer Lessons which will first serve as a crash course on how to use the Hammer Map Editor and then feature more advanced tutorials and techniques by seasoned mappers. We are looking to the community for volunteers who would be interested in hosting a lesson/technique they would like to cover.

Thank you for your time and I hope to see you over at /r/CSMapMakers (or I'll see you here =) ).

Right now we are doing one contest a month and the other tread moderator and myself come up with the contests. We might periodically run longer contest simultaneously that will have much longer deadlines for bigger projects.
