Deadline is set to September 4, 2011. Giving enough time for everyone. The total beginner can read up on tutorials and face a couple of errors and still make it in time. The more experienced mapper can take on a more daunting task or maybe make 2 maps, one for each theme. Have fun everyone!Mappers signed up:margaal, WizardExtJudges signed up:Spawn GirlTheme 1: "The Refuge"- A global catastrophe has occurred. A virus out of control? A natural catastrophe? A cosmic accident? A alien invasion? A nuclear winter caused by an asteroid? A scientific error as in Half-Life or The Mist?
Whatever happened. Has already occurred. Then you have to design a shelter in which people could survive. A Subway? An abandoned city underground, even below the subway? A nuclear refuge? A cave complex? A secret lab as Resident Evil's Umbrella underground labs? A spacecraft or satellite orbiting the earth? Theme 2: "The Tree City"Links: Vertical Eco City Works Like a TreeBio mimicry in architectureThe idea is a modern future city inside a huge tree, or artificial tree. Or huge alien Tree (Avatar). But the idea includes a modern city! Should be COOL. It would be interesting to mix biological textures like wood and green parts with corridors from Star Treek or Star Wars. And with views (to the env) to landscapes by irregular windows as cracks in a tree. A city inside a tree with trains, elevators, shops and streets. Use your imagination!

The images of the Tree City mixing biological elements with techno ones are difficult to find. So the images I used are only symbolic.

We can add categories or these can be some kind of guide for monthly mapping. What do you think?

i think the themes that you are listing margaal, will be kept for future contests. for this contest, there are 2 themes - refugee and tree city. the contest needs some kind of focus, having all kinds of themes would be the same as having no theme, since whatever you create will fit into any of them. i am already, just as you are margaal, looking forward to the upcoming contests of q2reloaded. but for now, lets make awesome maps for refugee and tree city. good luck everyone and have fun.

what would be cool, going offtopic, is to have one theme for each month next year, celebrating the 15th birthday of Quake 2.
january: alien february: liquid mars: cold april: warm may: spaceship june: nature july: ancient august: today september: future october: dream november: chaos december: quake 2 style (to celebrate the game)
these are just suggestions, i like the idea of monthly themes, especially for next year. for this year i think we can go with this contest and another one after this. then we launch the new year with awesome themes.

i really like the 2 themes for this contest, I might actually join to map for this one. I will definitely join one of the spots; mapper or judge. not decided yet! was really good entries previous competition and it was fun to jump in and score the maps. had a good hour on each of the maps.
..but ye, i really like the themes for this one. they are so different from each other. either you make a dirty map or you make a clean. ruins or futuristic awesomeness. <3
