News: First Widelands Map Contest

First Widelands Map Contest

The Widelands development team are pleased to announce their first map contest. Entries are invited from all Widelands players. Use your creativity in designing original new maps, and compete for the grand prize! We hope this contest will result in many new maps for the official Widelands distribution. Even if your entry doesn't win a prize, if its good enough, it's likely we'll include it in our next official release. To make sure this is possible, all submissions must be licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.

From now until 31st August 2008 submissions will be accepted in two categories: non-scenario maps, and single player scenario maps. When all the submissions are in, a jury¹ will choose up to ten finalists in each category. The community will then vote to decide the final winners. We hope to provide some modest prizes for the top ranked entries; so far we have two Widelands t-shirts for the winners. If you'd like to help us by contributing a prize, please contact Nasenbaer)
