So here is the vote for the contest. I’m sorry it took me so long to put this poll up, but I have been busy with finals and being sick. Luckily both are over now. So here it is, the order is same as they were sent in.
FireFly has my vote. Though it was a hard decision between 3 people. FireFly, Th0rn3 and MrLego.
For these Mapping academy awards (in random order) the nominees are ;
[ul]
[li]MrLego - nomination for best use of lighting and shadow
[/li][li]Thorn3 - nominated for technical merit in live action video
[/li][li]Pegazus - nomination For color mixing in live action still
[/li][li]FireFly - nominated for post-production editing
[/li][li]Zer0Cool - nominated for comedy short.
[/li][/ul]
And the winner for Best Picture is
“The sand flys itch”
Sniper productions, Zer0Cool producer, duckling directing.
(But then again Arts and Science never award comedies) Great work everyone!
voted for thorne, because actually fireflys map is the most beautiful, but neither one is really destroyed/war like feeling-ed (but too peaceful) as it was the criteria except thornes and pegs one, but pegs one for me both not that nice and not citymap at all but terrain (ok its nice just too simple, seems like awork of some 10 minutes/1-2 hours rather than the work of days as soem otzher entries). thornes one is also have some too “edgy” look and also far less developed one than mrlegos and fireflys map (fireflys one is really amazing), but it is the winner if we look what was needed to be made. (actually his screen is very much different than his video but now i only looked a t screen- dont even remember his videoexcept it had a nicve shooting plane and all was some desertlike empty area; just the impression left in me i never remember things exactly ^^) ah and zeros one, yeah it’d be a good fun entry if it were same except resized to half ;p
p.s. if we would have to judge from his video i think i wouldnt have voted for him, just to know coz most likely one would think when a vid and pic both entering the vid is a better 1
p.s.2. sorry for being so harsh/unkind/ruthless in my post i didnt want to hurt any1 ;(
You are correct aaa3, at first i misread the part of it has to be city or damaged. When i first read it, i was excited to do a bunker with war scene. After it was almost complete, then sage notified me that it should be a city map lol. Then i lost the will to do anything more to it. No matter, at least i did not get disqualified for it :P.
I hope next round i will read more careful
I just voted for mr.lego : The image(s) he posted reminds me allot of some of the old rtcw maps I used to play.
In the end it really doesn’t matter who will be the the winner… : The main reason for this contest is to inspire & motivate the mapping community. I Therefor hope that all 5 finalists will make their content public and put their map -source- files available for download. 
I will make it public! Again to remind - only if Sage and Pegazus will allow (it has their planes from capuzzo)
I would allow the Seafire, since there is a download file for Seafire. About BF-109 you have to ask Sage, as that is his.
Doesn’t matter, it can be useful to see how you “manipulated” the terrain or how you worked with it
My favorite is absolutely FireFly, really great art work. I want to play especially FireFly’s and MrLego’s maps on a real server.
Bumb incase someone missed this. So far the votes goes as I thought they would.
