Here at Generals World, we've recently announced our support for the 4th community-wide Open Map Competition . OMC 4 is a worldwide Command & Conquer 3 map creation contest, sponsored by the community with tons of sweet prizes  for the top submitters.

Generals World is offering a Prima Games Official C&C 3 Strategy Guide to the top 6 mappers.

From the homepage news:
The contest runs until August 20th, 2007, but start mapping now! If you need help getting started, check out our World Builder resources here .

Questions and comments are welcome!

I'd really encourage you fledging mappers to enter this. Let me just say that I think the prizes are very winnable if you spend some time thinking about your map and deciding how you're going to be creative and yet balanced (remember the no symmetry rule).

More than that, though, entering this competition will generate a lot of publicity for your maps--most websites in the community showcase and report about the OMC maps when the contest ends. If you'd like to begin mapping seriously, this is definitely the place to start.

http://www.cnccommunity.net/index.php?page=omc4rules  . Submit them to the OMC competition, not to Generals World. Once the competition is over, I'll make a point of highlighting on the front page and mirroring all those maps submitted.

Good luck and once again, I encourage you to give it your best shot. There's some excellent stuff to be had!

Oh, trust me when I say this: Once I get my gruby little fingers on CnC3, The Custom map population will greatly increase. I've had plenty of time to draw up so nice map layouts.
