If you ever had any plans about creating a custom map for StarCraft II, this is the time to get started. In addition to a free trip to Blizzcon, Blizzard also throws in another $5,000 in cash to each winner.
It doesn't matter if the map is a new version of DotA, first person shooter or a tower defense, all maps will be judged by innovation, creativity and of course by the amount of fun received by playing it.

Even if you've got some experience creating custom maps, you'll want to kick your efforts into overdrive for this one, because the stakes are high. We’ll be choosing three winners to represent the best of what the mapmaking community has to offer. If your custom map is one of those selected, you'll win a trip to BlizzCon 2010 (including airfare and accommodations), and BlizzCon attendees from all over the world will have a chance to play your creation in the StarCraft II demo area at the convention. Of course, it can't hurt to have some spending cash while you're in town, so we'll also throw in $5,000 prize money for each winner. .
