How are you going to keep physical objects on the structure?

Aye, the maps can be submitted if they are released after December 1st.
I don't feel that Valve would be prejudiced towards maps that are released before the contest, a good map is a good map. Plus, the fact that there are so few good maps out there (althought this has changed a little over the last week with a whole slew of map releases) brings a need for the release of these maps. I released my map on the 1st of January, sent it in the mail on the 5th. I'm glad I did it, because it is a great feeling to see it on multiple servers at a time.
One of the best parts about mapping is being able to play your map with other people afterwards. I don't understand how people can sit on a map, especially one that looks as good as yours. It would drive me nuts.
If you don't want to release it, you could always send me a copy because I really want to look through it (I love artcore style maps).

The rules state that it can't have been released before December 1st.

Comments like that are part of why I love mapping.

The fact that the rules explicity state it is NOT to have been released before kinda gives that vibe, yeah!

I sooooo love that fog effect on that bridge. It looks a bit like the prison bridge in Resident Evil Code Veronica!

Not sure about the gameplay, but it sure -looks- interesting. a more detailed skybox, and more interesting textures could help bring it to life a little, though. oh, and if you haven't already be sure to add some eerie wind or other ambient sounds

I can see how you've spent three days perfecting lighting. Your hard work shows, and it really paid off.
I commend you for being unique and create a map that's not the typical HL2 theme. There are so many other maps along that line already, and it's refreshing to see something completely different.
It takes courage and individuality to accomplish a feat like this (plus lots of talent).

Ok, I think I'm going to release it on the 15th.
I'm a little worried that they might be prejudice against maps that have already been released though..

You saw my comments on the Steam forums.
I dunno, the contest rules say that maps will be judged three things, one of which is artistic merit. You may have a chance at winning if your map plays as well as it looks.
Also, for god's sake release the thing already!!
