Tric's Map Making Contest

Have you ever thought about making your own maps? And, to have them be considered by Relic for inclusion in the 1v1 automatch pool? Well, now, is your chance to try it out, and give it a go! With the community here, we will seek to create unique and inspiring maps, which will then bring some love to Company of Heroes 2.

In the first part, of two, we will give contestants a 2 month long period of sharing, feedback and testing. Each person is allowed to submit 1 map for each visual category (Urban, Rural, and Industrial). The maps will then be judged based on the following guidelines. Please note that these are merely guidelines, so creativity and non-standard maps will still be viewed and have feedback given accordingly.


Use Wikipedia for time zone conversion. Or this site.

Submission period: June 30th – August 27th 2016 @ midnight EST



Post all of the following information when you register your map(s) in the 2016 Map Making tourney sub-section:

• Your Map Name
  
• The link to your maps workshop Page
  
• The link to your maps .sga file (uploaded to a website such as speedyshare or mediafire)
  
• Visual Category (Urban, Rural, Industrial)
  
• If you are comfortable with your map being play tested and shown on the stream. (This is purely at my discretion, I just do not want to make anyone uncomfortable.)
  

Mapmaker Winner Announcements: Early September, 2016 - the specific date will be announced when we are close to August 27th - the end date of Part 1 of the contest.



Your map will be submitted to Relic, who will consider it for the September patch, but we cannot guarantee that they will be added. Relic will be the final arbiter on this aspect.

• The Grand Prize Winner of the map making competition will win a special hardware prize from Relic Entertainment
  
• 1st place map for each visual category will each receive 50k supply, donated by Relic Entertainment
  
• Your map will be featured in part 2 of the contest: the 1v1 tournament which will have its own set of 1v1 prizes, as follows:
  
  
  • 1st Place: 50k Supply and 60% of the prize pool
    
  • 2nd Place: 25k Supply and 25% of the prize pool
    
  • 3rd Place: 10k Supply and 15% of the prize pool
    
  
  

Details will be provided later, but is penciled in for September/October 2016

After the 1v1 tourney is over and the winner is decided, the participants will vote on their favorite map, giving us the Map Maker winner for the grand prize!
