I did message him.
I didn't go to that official submission thread. It was just an innocent mistake. I thought that submitting to the contest thread was enough. I was in. On time.

Reminds me of a half-hour conversation I had once when I said (over YIM) to a friend, "I should do trash..." and they wondered what on earth I would be doing with the trash and the conversation lasted so long because we were trying to figure out what one might "do" with trash that wasn't the obvious.

I'll only speak in detail of the ones I've actually played, but here's my favorites.
MangyCarface.
His entry certainly deviates a bit from the original design, but I think it still falls within limits. The theme is nice, and there's a lot of nice little touches all around. Overall, however, it feels unfinished. I'd of loved to see how this entry would look if Mangy had more time to work on it.
Y_M.
A really nice looking entry with a ton of amazing looking content. They've done well to expand on the existing Halloween theme, and there's a lot of small details strewn about the map that you don't see very often in other maps.
The only real problem I have with the map is the inconsistency with the detail. There's small rooms packed full of really nice looking models and textures, and then there's wide open areas that look nearly devoid of any detail. The points are visually boring, but the paths leading to and from them are amazingly detailed.
Acegikmo
An amazing looking entry with an equally amazing theme to boot. I can't really say much about this map without coming off as bias, but I think it's got just the right mix of everything.
3Dnj
Really like the balance between the theme and lighting. Detailing is top notch as well. Really glad to see this entry make it out before the deadline.

I like:
spud's - cute, well done, solid theme. contrasts the maps crazy layout.
ace's - sucker for the city-like theme, and that sexy skybox
boojum's - very clean, nice looking map
fubar's - cave, pirate ship, green house; generally looks cool
YM's and rew1inds are very nice as well.
ooooo just saw 3Dnj's and it is very good. really tough call. valve has their work cut out for them.

I don't have much to add, most of the awesomest ones have already been pointed out. Just checked goobas and it's really quite nice but for some reason it hurts my eyes.
Honestly though it's amazing how many look amazing, at least in parts. If you took away the interiors I'd say 40 or so have a shot, as it stands theres maybe 15-20 contenders.
If anyone downloaded my map please download again, zpqrei let me update it to fix a few things.

Well, there were Artpass submissions there. I downloaded them.
Also, what happened was I was wandering around the threads - which I don't frequent a lot - AFTER I uploaded and after the deadline, and then I saw this thread that said "Artpass Submission Thread". And I said, "What the hell...?" And then I opened it, and there was this notice that said we had to submit there.
I followed the rules as I saw them. As I understood them.

I do like what Gooba did with his also, a little combo of a few themes, to create something new...
Though, Acegimko's is still my favorite.

Gooba and Mr. Happy are my favs.
Goobas' has been my favourite throughout the entire mapping process but I have to admit that 3Dnj has a stunning entry. It just makes me sad that the best looking map I've ever made doesn't stand up to the competition. 
At the moment there are only 10 entries up on the servers, including YM's, Spud's, Booj's and my own.
Since so many people are asking to play these, i'll upload the rest to the servers for you guys.
@ Carter, this isn't the thread for such a discussion. PM ZPQ and wait for a response. Continuing to post here wont solve your problem.
Edit: Only made my way through 12 of the entries and already 4 people have uploaded to places dictated unacceptable upload sources, and 2 who have not named their files appropriately. Does no one read the rules anymore?

I'm going to be the odd one out and say TerabyteST's is my favourite. I also really like grazr's, YM's, and Spud's. There are so many good entries that it's pretty difficult to pick favourites. I feel sorry for whoever has to judge this one, it's going to be hard.
p.s. This is based on running around every single entry. I spend way too much time on community nights.
