The Map Makers Medallion has been out now for well over 1.5 years. When I was first in correspondence with Valve about it, I had suggested to the rest of the staff at the time that the medal would be handed out to the Top 3 finishers of major mapping contests, and the first place winners of the "serious" minor contests; those "serious" minor contests being detailing contests and 72hr contests or any other ones deemed as such. Amongst the staff at the time, it was a hot topic and I wanted to expedite the process of getting the medal in-game, so I threw out the mini-contest bit, since no joint-decision could be made. Over a year and a half later, I'd like to bring forth this amendment to the rules of the medal, in the form of the public vote. I am not staff, nor do I have the ability to make this decision (technically), but I'm pretty sure if the community showed their views on this, things would happen.
So, what does the community think about this? I have attached a poll, but I'd like to hear some discussions about this. What do you (the community) think about giving it to the FIRST place winners of the mini-contests?
