ScapeCon Map Contest: Finished

[infectedsloth]

ScapeCon (July 29th to August 1st) is just around the corner. What better reason is there for a map contest!

The twist for this contest is all maps have to use split starting zones. Maps with split start zones require tough decisions from the word go and frequently have interesting aesthetics. They have a long history in scape, and many iconic maps make use of them. Despite this, split start zone maps are severely underrepresented. The ScapeCon organizers are calling on the community to help rectify this deficiency.

Map building parameters:

• All maps must use split starting zones
• Map submissions can have no more than 1 Master Set and 2 Expansions OR 2 Master Sets and 1 Expansion
• 24 Hex starting zone
• Uncapped pillars are allowed
• Maps must be able to accommodate the Marro Hive
• The Marvel set is not allowed, since the Gencon terrain doesn't include any sets
  

Split start zones examples:

Trailblazer by Dignan


Aeon by Flash_19


Burial Marsh by Panopticon


Capuan Arena By Map_wookie

A reminder that your map must be able to accommodate double-blind tournament style armies. Maps like Capuan Arana, while fun, would not fit this contest.

SUBMISSIONS:
Submissions should include a display image (ideally a 3D VirtualScape rendering) and build instructions
A maximum of 2 entries per person.

DEADLINE:
Submissions will be accepted starting now, and ending Sunday, May 9th. To submit a map, just post it in this thread by the end of the 9th.

If you submit your map early and end up tweaking/revising it later, don't worry. Just post the revised version in the thread, and I'll happily update things. I'd much rather have people submitting early, knowing they can revise if they like than have people hold off until the last minute.

Deadline May 9th at 11:59 central

VOTING:
Voting will be done by the community. Submissions will randomly be placed into one of several heats. The maps that receive the most votes will advance to the final round of voting.

PRIZES:
It wouldn’t be a contest without prizes.

• 1st: $30 to Amazon

If we get over 20 submissions

• 1st: $30 to Amazon
• 2nd: $15 to Amazon

If we get over 40 submissions:

• 1st: $35 to Amazon
• 2nd: $20 to Amazon
• 3rd: $10 to Amazon

Clarification: The winning map isn't guaranteed to be selected to ScapeCon's map pool. The winning map will be playtest by event organizers to determine its viability.

Good luck everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!
