I'd do what I always do with these contests. Take the theme as litteraly as possible, and somehow make a map out of that, and then never submit it. I'd participate in about half of them maybe.

Occasionally, as themes really limit me, since my mind doesn't like boundaries.

I think we need a good host of this contest though.Maybe someone like Moose Or Yoshi.

I'd probably get back into mapping if there was a monthly contest. I haven't really felt the urge to map in a while.

I hate to be so blunt about it, but almost all, if not [i]all[/i] of these replies are hollow. I hosted a monthly contest for 2 months, there were about 20-25 people who said they'd participate each month. The first month I had one entry, and the second month I had one which had nothing to do with the theme. Yoshi hosted a map-off, and I was one of the only two participants, with a map made in the 20 minutes of spare time I could find. In short, people won't participate unless it's already popular. Unless you give it a big kick start like I did to map night, it won't ever go anywhere.

We'll just of Tuxlar join. Then everyone will try to out-do him. It won't be a contest so much as a try-tp-beat-Tuxlar-test.

I usually end up submitting something too late, and/or don't submit 'cause it's not high enough quality. In other words, I'd probably think about making a map on every contest topic, but actually getting far enough to finish making a map... Limits my maximum entries to occasionally.

If I make a map I win the contest. That's how it works. I actually might participate in a contest if one was started.
