Contest is now Live!
Original post:
Beginning tomorrow at 2:00 TF2Maps member Fr0z3n is hosting a mapping competition for a duration of 72 hours. Participants design, block out, and detail a new map completely from start to finish as the clock runs down and total exhaustion looms ahead! While many of the level designers taking place will be thinking of standard public play, I am certain that several will be designing their maps for competitive use instead. It's no secret that there's a shortage of custom competitive maps, so I would encourage everyone interested to watch these mappers' progress unfold over the next three days and get involved with the voting at the end. There will also be a need for play-testers to pug on these maps and give feedback while these maps are still being developed, so gather your friends and let's play some TF2!
I would also invite anyone with even a little experience with mapping to give the contest a shot, or contribute to the community in whatever way they can.

If you're also taking part and would like me to include a link to your progress here in the first post so that others can see what you're doing, then reply in the thread below.
Thanks, and have fun!

I'll be participating as well, designing a 5CP map hopefully aimed towards comp, or starting a 5cp steel-esque design I had sketched for awhile...can't decide yet but I'd better soon haha.
Will be fun, i'll be streaming: twitch.tv/phideltatau.
Good luck to all the entrants and hopefully we'll get some good starts on some good maps!

Hey, i'm an admin over at TF2maps, if you want to help pub test the maps join the steam group and we'll have steam events pop whenever there is testing to be done like we always do. If you want to PUG it or stick it in a lobby or whatever either hang about in our Steam group chat and make it known or just test the maps and make sure everyone records thier POVs for the match or preferably an STV from the server and give it to the author or stick it in the Contest thread. If you're using mumble or something too, i'm sure they'd be appreciated with the demos.

I'm still working (slowly) on Manufacture so I don't think I can participate.
My map would be terrible anyway.

I wouldn't worry about making a bad map in 72hrs, you certainly won't be alone there.
