I think i just thought of a new kind of mapping contest although this may have been thought of before.
We are given a basic layout of a map in vmf format (by basic i mean a few walls and buildings put in), and then we have to add to it.

Like it, kind of like a theme contest, who can think of the best theme.

what about a snow/arctic map theme?
i think it has potential to make some cool maps.
spytech buildings hidden inside of icebergs, mining trails in snowy mountains, frozen lakes with tunnels underneath.

That would actually be very interesting, the thing that is bad about traditional TC, in my opinion at least, is that each round can take long enough that you forget the overall goal, I think that could bring up some incredibly fun to play maps.

I may get a lot of hate for bringing up this idea but I believe if you just listen to my reasoning you will see why it is a good idea.
We should have a simple CTF map contest.
The reason is that there are lots of really good mappers on this site. CTF is really simple to make and with the standard of mappers on this site, you will see some pretty amazing, awe inspiring, earth shaking maps. Plus they don't take long to make so the contest can begin and end quickly, and noobs to map making wont feel left out like they normally would if we had something like a TC Arena map making contest.
It wont take long for many mappers to finish there CTF maps, giving plenty of time for the maps to be play tested, detailed, and such.

Wouldn't TC arena just be koth with three stages?
Random idea that may or may not work:
Suppose we're given a game mode and some common issues with current maps for that game mode. The contest would be about making a map for that game mode that addresses those issues. So for CTF, the goal could be to make it difficult for Sentry farms to lock down whole areas of the map. For TC, it could be to discourage stalemates. For A/D CP, it could be to limit the effectiveness of spam.
That wasn't articulated well at all, but something like that.

Sounds good to me. Wonder if they might actually use my idea!
how about Arena vs. Koth?

no king of the hill ends after holding a point for a long period of time, arena ends after a whole team has been killed with the addition of a cp to avoid camping/hiding.
