There's a massive link in the OP and i've put a massive link in my own signature.
That sounds good as a start - but these events are great for pushing yourself, so I would suggest seeing if you can do more than the one drawing.

My drawing pad does not want to work anymore, but I decided that I want to create a weapon idea and draw it out. Can I draw it with pencil on paper, then use my phone to take a picture of it and upload it as my entry, or will it be considered a low effort entry? I would use my scanner for a clearer image but, that's also broken...
Oh, and also, can I use a concept I created a long time ago, but re-create it?

Hey everybody! Keep up your good work 
I've got to get to sleep so I can crush it tomorrow in the final 24 hours of the Jam!
My goal for this weekend is to learn about recording replay demos and the process of exporting high-quality videos. There are a ton of great tutorials out there.
I love TF2, and I've always thought it had a very unique community. I can't wait to see all the cool maps, art, fan-fic and hulabah-hoodoo you guys and gals can come up with.
My personal challenge this weekend is to publish one high-quality highlight reel of competitive TF2, which demonstrates to all viewers the tf2 matchmaking experience.
(the HOW-TO series by NISLT is a good example of my inspiration)
You can check out my progress here. So far I have two videos made, and I still have a lot to learn. I guess there is a known issue with exporting in windows via "startmovie <filename> h264" which can prevent audio from properly syncing to the video - I'll have to troubleshoot tomorrow :S
Please recommend any favourite tutorials you might have (anything and everything- map making, video editing, workflow, etc ... )

Use some editing software to cut out the idle parts of the demo, such as the beginning with the demo controller
Thats fine.

yes
I really appreciate this feedback. Unfortunately, I have some other stuff going on and ultimately decided I don't have time to draw the other two. Hopefully it's enough, but if it isn't I'm at least proud of what I did. I'll be submitting shortly. Thanks for all the help.
Yeah for sure! As of last night I just sorta figured out how to to export from the dem file, to something watchable- and then it was a learning experience for creating a youtube channel and doing my first upload. Having an end-to-end workflow is clearly very important for this type of product.
Thanks for the feedback!
this is my submission, thanks for putting on this event. https://tf2maps.net/downloads/my-entry-the-spy-that-seeks-vengance.3388/
You can upload anything, even non-maps - some filetypes cant be uploaded, so instead host them elsewhere (like imgur, youtube, etc) and create a "download" on the site.
Yeah, it's a pity there isn't more time, I made a serious design error in the planning stage of this map.

I'll have to redesign all of the corridors after the jam ends to get a more reasonable walking time between points.
