• functional (no crashes, failure to compile or load)
  
• project files correspond to the map
  
• points of interest, e.g containing items, must be accessible to players
  
• properly scaled for its respective game mode
  
• map size accommodates at least two players per team (4 players total)

Also I think the prize is the fun itself and the learning experience. But if you wanna donate...

rules: "errr... "

a contest needs a baseline of rules take a look at contests from the past or other games for example http://mapping.maverickservers.com

basic guidelines would also make judging easier. How do you compare a race, a duel and a ctf map?

• -The map should hold at least 8 players (suitable for 8 player FFA or 4v4 TDM/CTF) or 2 players for a 1v1 map
  

• -All maps are judged on the same scale, so a smaller map will be held to same to the same quality and complexity standards as larger maps
  

• -Map must be previously unreleased and a new design started at the beginning of this competition; please no map remakes or edits
  
• Each competitior/competition team is allowed to only submit one map and the .map file should be released with the final .pk3 of the map when submitted to the judges for the final judging (the .map file will *not* be distributed except to judges)
  
• -All participants are required to post weekly Radiant screenshots to the competition forums showing progress from start to finish

Added note: Komier and Koala do not think it is a good idea to have all game modes judged together. Though, I would like to be surprised with Onslaught, Assault, or a race map designed for Xonotic weapons (as opposed to XDF). But I don't think we have the participants or prize pot for multiple categories.

We could go by a set of game modes , such as no-teams and team maps, instead of naming a specific few. I had the idea of CTS Maps, Duel, and DM maps going under the no-teams category because there's an overlap in players between CTS and Duel.

just noticed that part, why dont you use a poll? The upcomming mapping contest should feature this type of maps

If I had started a map prior to the competition it'd not eligible to enter? (How to monitor this?)

Can people collaborate?
