At first I didn't like the idea of having only 3 months, but this is a good way to not let maps get out of hand; focus on small 10-30 minute maps. I guess you wouldn't mind if the map was for co-op but also possible to play alone (like SotX)?
That should be fine. If Jay or Deltron have other ideas then they'll hop in, but as far as I'm aware the only prerequisites for a map to be eligible are possible to play in single player and designed from scratch in SC1/SC2/WC3.
Looking back at the rules, is it ok for it to be in the same universe as an existing campaign? It'll have some lore tie ins, but otherwise I plan on making it from scratch (terrain, data, triggers/etc) in the spirit of the competition. I'll wait to start working on the actual map file til the contest officially starts. Just writing down ideas for now.
Yep, I don't see any reason why this would be an issue. As long as you don't sample a level or a script or whatever from other maps I doubt we'd dock you points or anything.

We're thinking around a month, but we're still discussing it and we're open to other suggestions.
