Anyone can enter this contest.

The goal of this contest is to add to the bunnyhopping community by incentivizing all the great creators out there to create some awesome new maps for people to play.

CS:GO and CS:S is based on the Source Engine, which uses Hammer for custom map creation. If you wish to participate but have no mapping experience, or don't know much about bunnyhopping or what goes into a bhop map - join the Discord for tips and help. If you are still completely clueless, here is a video displaying how a bunnyhop map is made.

Rules

Make a bunnyhop map for Counter-Strike.

1. Your creation must be new and original.

2. The map should be compiled for both CS:GO and CS:S. The version of your choice will be judged, but versions of equal quality should be available for both games. Only one version of the map has to be ready by the deadline, but you should have the intention of porting it within a reasonable time frame after that.

3. Insert a clearly visible banner at either the start or end of the map, stating: "SourceJump.net Mapping Contest"

4. Team based entries are allowed, but the entrants will have to decide and agree on how to split any prizes awarded.

5. Multiple map entries are allowed, but you may only win one prize.

6. You must join the tournament on this site to be eligible for any prize money.

7. Notify Tony Montana#8991 in Discord with a link to download your map when it is done.

Deadline - July 1st July 15th, 12:00 UTC

Submissions received after this date and time will not be considered. If there is overwhelming support for additional time, the date may be postponed.

FAQ

Who will be judging the maps?

A select few, experienced, dedicated, and non-participating judges (SourceJump/Tony Montana included).

Judging process - design or gameplay?

Clarifying on the question of what takes weight when it comes to judging; we will be looking at both aspects, with emphasis on the aesthetics. This doesn't mean that a great looking map will automatically win, but it also doesn't mean that the gameplay needs to be extraordinary.

Is there any implied theme I should be adhering to when making the map?

No.

Can my map be hard/easy?

Yes.

Will the difficulty (tier) have any impact on the judging process?

No.

Can I make a short/long map?

Yes. You are, however, likely to score more with a map that is decently long (~60 seconds).

Is there going to be an official banner to be used, as per rule 3?

You are free to incorporate the words "SourceJump.net Mapping Contest" as you see fit (as long as they're clearly visible). A banner will be provided in the coming days, in case you don't want to make your own.

Prizes and winners

Submissions will be voted on in public in the Discord server by seasoned bunnyhoppers and designers. Maps will be judged based on the overall design and gameplay. Here are a few tips on how to make a good bunnyhop map:

- While a map may look great, it is equally important for it to be fun to play. Larger, more open areas with more-than-less objects/things to jump on allows for more route options for people that play competitively.

- Test your map. On the topic of gameplay, it is important to test your map thoroughly to ensure things are in order and plays well. If you as a mapper don't bunnyhop yourself, there are plenty of experienced people who would love to help in the Discord.

- It looks and plays great, but is it well optimized? In such a fast-paced game mode, maps with low FPS discourages players from playing your map.

The crowdfunded prize pool will be split amongst the top rated submissions a few days after the deadline.
