A forge contest is being held by
http://www.genesisdevice.org/.Here is a quote from the website:
"After many delays, cancelations and confusing comments, the Smithy's Challenge is back for its final iteration. We got so lost in our latest site dev that we completely forgot that this thing was around! No more is that the case. Read on to get the breakdown of the rules and regs of the challenge and be sure to let all of your friends know about this contest because the more entries we get, the merrier this site will be!
So beef up your bellows and strike with the iron is hot! Get your map/mode combos into us by the end of May!
Submission Rules:
To submit an entry into this contest you must add a comment under this article with your gamertag, map and mode name and a description of the rules. Any posts made after 11:59 PM GMT , May 31st, 2008 will not be allowed into the competition.
You are to use FOUNDRY from the Heroic map pack as your forge map. Due to the lack of level choices, ANY mode is acceptable but MUST be described in your contest entry comment as mentioned above. If the ruleset is not provided then we will default to Team Deathmatch or Deathmatch and judge the map based on those settings.
The goal of this contest is to make the best possible map from Foundry in terms of playability and game structure. Maps designed as art first and for gameplay second will not prevail.
Co-op built maps are allowed. Only the name of the person on the map will be elligible for winning any prizes and recognition.
