Mapping contest 2013? Please?
Listen to me man, I said the magic word. Is there going to be a mapping contest for 2013? Maybe?
If a contest was announced what prizes would you want?

"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."
Also, why do you want a contest? A place to show your abilities in mapping or just for the "end"?
The prizes don't really matter to me, but I'd like to see what lots of different people did with a set contest theme, and a deadline might get me to actually release something. 
Experience has taught me that people are more motivated when there is a prize to be had, even if it not guaranteed; but offer nothing, and that what you will get.
Also, you didn't answer my question.

I don't think that there's ever really a theme, though it would prove interesting if there was..
On-topic: I second the motion, I'd love to see a contest soon. But I guess these things don't just grow on trees.
Wouldnt a theme just dampen creativity? Also, you didn't answer my question.

The previous contests have had themes. The first was to do something new without any custom content, the second was to get something built and styled within a short time limit, and the mAI one was to use as much custom content as possible while still fitting into Portal 2.
For prizes...the coolest thing would be if we could get VALVe to give out something, like mAI did, but I don't know if that's possible.
