Just posted rules to make it more clear, but since you're clearly stating it's not paid, that seems fine.

Tried to work a bit on this from saturday






 

Dear Everyone,
we are looking for 2D/3D artists that can help us create and refine the second part of our Left4Dead 2 campaign set in pripyat, the reactor, and the wastelands in between.
Who are we
Currently we are 4 people from germany and the netherlands, working on finishing the first part of our 2 part campaign. This journey is going on for 8 years now and helped us solidify our own skills and ways of content creation.
Now that we almost reached our first big milestone we want to search for experienced and aspiring 2D and 3D Artists that want to build assets and textures for a world set in the postapocalyptic setting of Chernobyl and be a part of the team that builds one of the biggest custom campaigns for Left4Dead 2.
What are we searching
3D Artists - Able to build, unwrap and texture models.
2D Artists - Able to create textures from photographs or with procedural tools like substance designer. 
Why are we searching for you
Now that we are nearing the end of the first part of our project we decided that we want to expand the scope of what we want to do in the second part of our campaign. We want this to be an outstanding expirience unlike anything else that you can have in Left4Dead 2. To keep the quality high and gurantee a release in a realistic timeframe we are searching for you.
What we offer
We are determined to finish this project. 8 years time couldn't kill the mod and we want to see this project finish. That means you won't create assets for a project that gets forgotten in the corner of a hard drive.
You create the assets for the team but also for your portfolio.
We can introduce you to all the tools and workflows needed to create models and textures for the Source Engine.
Time is a valuable good and while we want to reach our goals in a timely manner, we want that you work with the time you CAN allocate to this project.
Knowledge in Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop, Hammer Editor.
What we want from you

You need to be able to create new models or textures from reference pictures.
Working within a set polygon budget or texture size.
Hard Surface modeling is a requirement/organic modeling and basic rigging skills are welcome but optional.
[Optional] In a ideal case, you use the same toolset that we use to create a synergy effects thru collaboration of all members of the project.
The model range goes from small simple props like fences, crates or beams to cars, trucks and apcs. (Think Stalker and Metro)
2D artists need to be able to retexture and texture models and create textures from real photographs or in a tool like substance designer.
The skills to work independently on given tasks and create props and textures to a high standard.
If you have a basic knowledge of hard surface modeling or texture creation and want to learn and solidify your skills within the frame of a project you are also very welcome to apply. We want to encourage you to grow your skills as you create props or textures for this project.
We have no requirements regarding the country of origin and past experiences make us confident that no matter where you are from you are welcome.
English is a requirement.
If you are interessted contact us at admin@chernobyl-l4d2.de

Contest Rules
Entry into this Contest is free of charge for all. Your entry must be a playable map for the PC version of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Remakes (maps of the same name and design of an existing map released for public download), sequels (e.g. de_dust3), and spiritual successors (new name for an old design layout) can NOT be entered. Maps that were under creation prior to the announcement of this Contest can be entered, as long as a complete map version (layout and any non-greybox art) was not released for public download. Map entries must be submitted to the CS:GO Steam Workshop AND our Mapcore Contest sub-forum before the deadline. Map authors are free to share their map on any other websites or services they wish, however the map must remain free to download. Multiple map entries are permitted, however each entry will be judged for its own particular quality. Map entries created by teams are permitted, however entrants will have to agree how to split any prizes awarded prior to prize claim and dispatch. Mapcore encourages entrants NOT to update your Workshop map after the deadline. Entries will not be disqualified if updated, but entrants assume the risk of introducing bugs/glitches into their work. Judges will not be asked to overlook such bugs/glitches, so we recommend "finalizing" a polished version of your project before the deadline in order to “put your best foot forward”. Mapcore forum rules must be obeyed. All custom textures, models, etc. must be embedded into the map's .bsp file (FREE TUTORIAL AND TOOL). Assets must also comply with Steam Workshop guidelines. Map authors must be able to accept cash payments. Winners of hardware or physical products will be required to provide a valid shipping address. Judges, Experts, and individuals associated with organizing this contest CANNOT enter, nor provide material assistance to map entrants. If a Finalist entry is disqualified due to violation of ANY of these rules, all applicable winnings will be directed to the next highest-rated map. Void where prohibited.   
Contest Eligibility
1. Participant eligibility: This Contest is open to any individual, or teams of individuals, provided they comply with the following:
Participants must not be an Employee or Official Staff Member of the “Organizer” (Mapcore) or “Sponsors” (FACEIT). Participants must not have taken part in the judging, or official announcement of this Contest. Participants must not be a direct relative, spouse, or direct employee of any of the above. If a Contest Judge has previously published a CS:GO level with a participant, that Judge will be fully disqualified from scoring any entry by that person. In place of the disqualified Judge's score, the entire panel of Guest Judges will be asked to rate the entry, and their rating will then be averaged. 2. Legal Age: This Contest is open to any individuals who meet the above “participant eligibility” criteria. In the event that a participant who has not reached the legal age in his/her state wins one or more prizes, he/she must provide contact details for the legal guardian who will claim the prize(s).

You have a great site, not overloaded with details. It was interesting to look at the samples of your design. From year to year I promise myself to start exploring the mapping for HL2 and Portal, but I’m always busy with other projects. Your works is very inspiring to finally do something ...

Hello everyone!
I make maps on the source engine, and today I just launched my website/portfolio. Any kind of feedback would be really appreciated!

I didn't use a site builder, just raw html/css/javascript coding.

I replaced the initial water texture with a texture made by @Yanzl, also i replaced those "dust" palms with pines, also made by him, and oleanders.

This is pretty nutty, you guys are wild.

Hi, so I worked on this map for a while, but sadly, I don't think I will ever finnish it. So I thought, instead of deleting the map, I'd just share it with you. Do whatever you want with it, and have fun mapping. I'd love to see what you come up with 
Here's the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ph3a2z18irsp97/map_files.zip?dl=0

Are you gonna have people walking outside ?

I sure hope this map finds a good home!

I've been working on my map Retail (Set in a shopping mall under renovation) for over a year now, detailing is finaly beginning!
