Contestant Rules

1) If you would like to enter this contest, please note that your entries might be put into the MS:C/MS:S game. If you would not like this to happen, please do not enter this contest.

2) To enter, create a thread in the Media Contest sub-form. The thread title should list the type of entry to help judges know which threads they should be reviewing. I.e., "[Maps] Red Cell's Entry". The "[Maps]" denotes that all of the entries in this thread pertain to Maps in either MS:C or MS:S.

3) In order for your entry to be reviewed, the source material must be posted in your thread so judges can review it. Screenshots and clips are not enough. If you fear that people will try to mimic your content, do not post it until your deadline date nears OR directly send your entry to Thothie.

4) If you would like to create materials in another section you can, but you must start a new thread with that specific section . There is no limit to the amount of entries you can enter in this contest, but remember, there will be specific judges to check your work so try not to burden them too much (think quality and not necessarily quantity).

5) The deadline for the contest is January 31, 2015. Once 23:59:59 at Pacific Standard Time strikes on January 31st, judges will only review what you posted BEFORE the deadline. However, you can still edit your entry for minor tweaks and fixes.

6) If you have any questions about the contest, there will be a Q and A thread and if you'd like to talk privately, you can PM me on these forums, or find me on Steam with the name "Red Cell".

2) The breakdown for the highest ranking entries will look like this:

i.e.

Contestant X = 10 points (Most points gets to choose first in their section)
Contestant Y = 8.7 points (Second in most points gets to choose second in their section)
Contestant Z = 8 points (Third in most points gets to choose third in their section)
etc.

3) Once the game has been chosen by the contestant, they have the option for the game to be either sent to a specific e-mail address, gifted to a certain steam account or traded (to be kept as a gift) to a steam account.
