Submission

 * Maps must be authored with Hammer Editor. You are free to use the Puzzle Maker as a tool for prototyping your ideas, but maps must be designed and built in Hammer Editor.
 * Maps should be made within the timespan of the competition; previously authored content is not permitted.
 * You are not allowed to re-create any existing maps, regardless of the original author.
 * Your submitted map should only consist of one single map file (one .bsp); multi-map submissions are not allowed.

 * Entries may not be modified after the above deadline, for any reason.
 * All maps must be submitted to the Download Database, in the “Contest” category.
