There was a server side mod I had wanted to do that would fit into this. If you ever played Time Bandit, I got part of the idea from one of the levels...

I would be interested too, depending when it would start. I kinda like the idea of non-sense maps, but something like "best TFU map" or something like a campaign map would be nice too.

Hey i want to take part too but i but only if the deadline is not too soon

well... I am working on a map pack.

If I finish before the deadline I'll join in on this.

Honestly I'm not even sure when it will happen, but there are certain it'll enough people that would like to participate (including myself)

Maybe this thread should get a poll with a few start dates. And i think this should have a motto because then everyone has to start from scratch and cant apply a map hes workin on for a while

Thats how every map contest has been.

Already started some maps*

eh at least I have 6 more to get to my goal of 10...

I'd be interested in having a go at it, although I haven't done any modding for Battlefront II in a very long time. Would be good fun to get back into it though.

If we want a contest anytime in the future, someone (or a team of people) will have to organize this contest. Nothing will get done until that happens.

So if we were to combine your ideas...

Setup
Mod Type - Map, Side, Map + Side
Map Style - Forest, Snow, Urban, Desert, War-Torn, Custom (Goofy), etc...
Side Style - Republic, Confederacy, Empire, Rebels, Custom, etc...
Poll Vote - Mods for download, players vote after playing. If the number of mods it too high we make several groups, top maps make it into the next tier.
Awards - Title (Type, Style, Date)

Rules
Team Limit - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc...
Deadline - 1 Month, 2 Months, etc...
Vote Time - 1 Week, 2 Weeks, etc...
Maximum Submissions - 1, 2, 3, etc...

It's actually quite simple. I could direct this if you like. Guru is the only one we need confirmation for. Would you allow title changes upon winning a specified contest? I think this would bring a huge portion of new mods and maps. The longer the time the higher the quality, but we cannot make it too long otherwise we may not see many of these contests.

One contest a month or every two months depending on previous contest deadline. Every contest will have a different "setup" maintaining the variety and enthusiasm. Once we've done everything we can think of, we cycle it again.

If this were to become official it'd give me good reason to come out of my temporary modding retirement.

Marth and I might work together on a map, not sure. We'd figure it out.

I think a fourm section just for these contests would be nice. Creating new posts would be locked to everyone but those directing the contest. After one contest is complete, it's locked. This way the fourm members can go back and look at all the previous contests, download maps, and read old comments. Kinda like, a history of these events.

Edit: Possibly here? Named "Gametoast Mod Contests"
Stickied topic named "Choose Contest" within that where the community votes on which contest type they'd like to have next. Utilizing the poll system after every finished contest.

This also. I was working on a map a few weeks ago but I got bored. It's still not too bad though.

Waaaaaaay ahead of you...

It's in the Archives though. I suppose you could always revive it. Or why not start fresh?

We could possibly create a section strictly for the Mod Contests to prevent clutter. I see a lot of "Bug Issues & Questions" (Can work out the bugs in a sticky post perhaps or in the mod work in progress section) and "Avatar Contests"

How about you guys see if you have the wherewithal to start, much less complete, just one contest. As with anything, we'll make the forums if the activity dictates it.

I may be interested in this.

I'm kinda interested in this even tough I'd rather like to participate on this as part of a small team.

Enough discussing and contemplating the idea, lets get it started already.

I'll setup the first contest, mod type, style and rules. If all goes well it will act as sort of a template for future mod contests. I'll set it up today and post the contest on 04/30/2013 at 2:00 PM. (Forum Time) Those who wish to participate (even if stated earlier in this post) must comment stating they would like to take part in this contest. They will then be added to the participant list.

I will send the post setup to the admins to make sure everything is in order and nothing is left out.
