The Council of Modders on the Wildfire Games Forums are organising a mapping competition for the 5th anniversary of 0AD! The aim of Mapping Contest is to create a playable skirmish map that fits in one of the predefined themes. I'll elaborate the requirements further down the announcement.
 
The theme list for this contest is as following:
1. Northern Highlands:
In the lands where rocks and mountain rule the earth and snow and rain dominate the air, a few remnants of humanity dare to resist the supremacy of the forces of Nature.
2. Ancient Lands:
Once there was a highly civilized kingdom, now only pain and rocks. However, rumors say that great treasures are to be found beyond the walls of this destroyed city.

Don't know. We've been going on 4-year cycles, so 2016 if we keep that trend. We could do it every 2 years, it's just a lot of work and we don't have the organisational manpower to do it regularly.

Oh, OK. I can just do a mini competition I suppose, when I feel like it. :P

Run competitions, competitions are good! And even better if I can enter them which rarely happens!  :P

I need judges for this competition. Would you be happy to judge with me?

If I'm judging I can't enter so I'd rather not, though I'll happily help you find judges.
