UPDATE: https://ppmforums.com/post-607968/d-day-mapping-contest-update

D-Day, the World War 2 total conversion mod for Yuri's Revenge, is having a mapping contest! This contest actually started just before the RA Unified Anniversary Event started, and I'm making this announcement right now because Banshee didn't announce the mapping contest even though I told him to.

Anyway, the deadline is November 23rd, which is where D-Day will have a game night in the anniversary event.
And here's the download link to D-Day: Multiplayer Mod, so you can get to mapping: https://ppmforums.com/topic-59390/d-day-multiplayer-mod-d-day-with-the-cncnet-client/

Here are the rules:
- 1 map per entrant.
- Desert, New Urban, and Snow theaters are allowed. The others aren't because they aren't supported.
- Don't copy maps. By this, I mean you can't copy map files and edit them. You may make maps inspired by other maps but they should be made from scratch.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Are the maps exclusive to D-Day?
A: No. The map authors may give you permission to edit their maps and add them to your mod.

Q: Whose judging?
A: Everyone, but I have the final say on which maps will be added.

Q: Where are you taking submissions?
A: You may submit your map to me (Preferably on Discord. My Discord username and ID is sayedmamdouh#9993), D-Day Discord server (https://discord.gg/7R4aCX8), and the Red Alert Anniversary Event Discord server (https://discord.gg/wf32SKuJzW).

Since I don't see people joining in the mapping contest, maybe you guys need to know the rewards to join in. Well, I'll tell you the rewards right now.
- The three best maps will be added in the D-Day Multiplayer Mod, along with special comments on them about their place in the mapping contest, and how good they are.
- Maps below the 3rd best map may or may not be added depending on how good they are, with only a comment about their place in the mapping contest.

But you are the creator! How come that you have no involvement in this? Not interested or too busy for this?

twistedconversion organized it on his own without informing me beforehand. I'm currently too busy making new graphics for D-day to enter, besides it normally takes me several months or even years to make a new map for D-day, as I always end up making new terrain & buildings for each map >.<

Also, the use of "Open Map Competition" term at the name of the event has no relationship with the Open Map Competitions previously organized at PPM, thus there is not my involvement or the direct involvement of PPM itself in this event.

Nonetheless, for those who like creating maps for RA2, we do recommend you to give it a try and send your map into it and wish the best luck for whoever tries it.

I'm not moving this specific news post to the site news because the use of the terms.

Note that this is not a lie. I didn't post this news and some other news as well because I'm overloaded with real life things, but this is not the kind of formality expected in the site news of the PPM community.
