Campaign Creations is proud to present their next contest: The StarCraft Campaign Contest. Your prize pool this time? Third place receives an outstanding StarCraft poster, second place receives the greatly reviewed StarCraft: Novel Trilogy Set, and first place receives an epic copy of StarCraft: The Board Game. Want more!?

Each Winner Will Receive a StarCraft II Beta Key for Him or Herself and a Friend!

That's right, we're offering TWO (2) Beta Keys for first, second, and third place each! Thanks to the support of Blizzard Entertainment, they've help sponsor this contest officially by offering a pair of beta keys for each winner. Think you can handle the ultimate accomplishment in StarCraft mapping? Then here's what you have to do:

Contest will be a campaign creation contest, with no limits other than using lore; to present a story as to what occurred four years between the Brood War and StarCraft 2 storyline. It may be portrayed through one, two, or all three of the races. Style can be crafted in any sequence, such as episodes, intertwining, etc. and may revolve around main characters or spin-off fan-created characters. Judgment will be based on ability to portray story via in-game text and triggers, mapping ability, and overall professionalism of the project. Additional extras such as music, vocal work, or artwork adjustment will not directly ultimately affect judgment but may aid in help of a tie, as well as how early you announced your project and how many updates you perform in your thread. The contest will be based off a scoring system, where one can acquire up to ten points based on each criteria: Text (Spelling, Grammar, Formatting, Dialogue, etc), Triggers (Complexity, Functional, Usage), Mapping (Categories: Layout and Beauty), and Professionalism (Attention to detail, lore, updates, and presentation).

You have eight weeks from this day to complete a total package campaign revolving around the StarCraft storyline. Let's make your vast knowledge in both lore and mapping finally come of good use, and show that YOU deserve those keys! Head on over to our forums and visit the contest subforum to get started!

Wow those are really good prices.

I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you.

Doubt it Baja, I have yet to see a good campaign come out of this site. Well, there was Doodan's work but he doesn't map anymore I think.

Rate and download the latest Diplomacy: Empires map!
You can PM me, Moose, IP, Devourer, any of the other globals, and you can even write your congressman if you feel like it. This is SEN. We have rules, we have standards. If you don't like it, you can google for another SC site, where I'm sure they'll accommodate your MEDIOCRITY FOR ALL philosophy.

Are teams allowed? If so, I'll be in if someone's available to help. (ForTheSwarm, you interested? Or maybe stickynote?)

I didn't say we'd be on a team. :P
No offense, but I want to work alone on this one.

But it looks like an intriguing contest none the less.

People are allowed to work in teams, however we will only supply the prize to the main contestant who will determine distribution.

There are multiple first-time mappers entering, and with some patience anyone can create a project Blizzard-quality.

Hm? I've had communication with Karune and Cydra via e-mail and in person multiple times, am part of the ORG Network and am also part of the Blizzard Fansite Program, which is a somewhat invitation-only setup for the time being as it still gets cemented in procedure.

Well, they are supplying the keys, I am personally supplying the rest.

Does look very interesting... a lot of work though and Campaign Creations had some freakin awesome campaigns... and as someone noted I haven't seen many of those on here. But then people haven't really been that motivated to make a big campaign I think.

So... What other mapper wants to join forces with me and create a map? Split the pot down the middle.

Lavy, is there such a thing as too over-done for this project? I was thinking of making this extensively triggered and using extended terrain. Is that okay with the judges or what?

Having a small avatar makes your title look abnormally long.

You should see CC's projects, there's one with fully voiced characters, so yeah you can probably. No limitations to mapping/modding.
