Winter Mapping Competition – 2017
Theme: “Alternative Path”
Your map must start off at some place in the campaign, and it must feature the player taking an alternate route.

BTS Competition – 2018
Theme: “Behind The Scenes”
The gritty inner bowels of Aperture Science, churning out hundreds of OSHA violations per day. Whether it be an old sealed off wing from the 60’s or a processing area from the 90’s, your level must take place in one of the many non-test chamber areas of Aperture Science. Incorporate awe-inspiring set pieces with an incredible atmosphere, and make players admire how cool it is! That said, your map should still contain a puzzle of some sort. Adapt your puzzle to the environment, and have them complement each other beautifully. This is your opportunity to let your visual design shine while also seamlessly integrating a fun puzzle or two. The size and scope of your puzzle(s) is up to you.
