Must have climable hills with Kbots only and those hills are to have mexes on them(from 1/4 to 1/2 of the map must contain some structure of hills on it).
No water.
Must have 6 starting locations.
Must have a big flat wholesom portion without any obstacles.
Should provide as much different ways to play as possible while keeping it fun and playable.
Should look nice :).

The judges:
Forumers.
after all the maps will be submitted (1 week max),i will start a poll with all the maps as options and everyone will be able to vote based on their own subjective view of what is a good map.

The prize:
The wining map will be hosted for 24 hours on all of neddies servers except the KP ones.
Any map that will not comply with the Requirements will not take part in the contest(i suppose you can deviate from the Requirements a bit but not too much).

(the map must be a new one)

Of course.
I wouldnt just promise that,we talked it over and he is cool with it.
So if you make a map and it wins you can bet people will play and know it.

It has to fit for all major content packages aside from Kernel Panic, so, to some extent, yes.

Why don't you just make it best map competition, give everyone a week, to put a link to their new map in a new thread, and let the forumers have a week or so to judge?
