Introduction
Hello Sandboxers! I'm Chaze007 and I'd like to announce our first ever Sandbox Contest!
The goal of the Platinum Arts: Sandbox Mapping Contest is to test the community's mapping abilities.
We hope that the whole community (Non Judges) can participate in the contest.

What we're looking for
For this contest, we're looking for the best of the best in Sandbox mapping.
Mapping is creating your own world/town/anything really, in sandbox.
We're looking for major creativity, and realism.
Rules
The rules are as stated, and will be enforced
*No editing, copying, or releasing a map created by another for your project.
*No CO-OP Mapping.
*Custom textures/models ARE allowed.
*Projects must be posted within 1-4 days of the deadline's ending, NO SOONER.
*There mustn't be any vulgar or profane materials within your maps.
*All maps must either come with an ingame, or a .txt description of what it is supposed to be.
Deadline Information
*The deadline is on the 10'th of September (20 days from this post)
*Nothing will be accepted before the 7'th of September OR after the deadline.
*Under no circumstances WILL the deadline be extended.
Do We Get Any Prizes?
Yes indeed - First, Second, & Third Place will all receive a userbar with the trophy and text of what they placed.
This contest is mainly for the sport.
The winners will be announced on the 10th-12th of September.
First Place winner's map may ALSO be pre-added into Sandbox 2.4 for the world to see!

An ingame text description, would be the name of the map, creator, and any extra details.
No vulgar items, means anything relating to satanism, Nazi's and the such, also profane materials, like textured out bad words and such >_<...
You'll have to find out on your own to import models.
