The Spell contest was really popular and I'm aggregating all the entries. Meanwhile you can start making beautiful wallpapers :)

Wallpaper Contest

This contest will be made together with Starcraft Mapping.de. The goal is to make it available for more people than just on Mapster. The same contest will be running on both websites, entries and votes will be shared in both sites.

What to do?

You have to make a wallpaper. A wallpaper here is a screenshot of a beautiful terrain, fun scene ... I'm pretty sure you will come up with great pictures.

Only ingame screenshots are allowed
Post-editing (Photoshop ...) NOT allowed
You have to provide the map the screenshot has been taken from
Submit your entries

You have 7 days to complete this contest

Reward

The main goal of the contest is to further community development within GalaxyEdit. The rewards can be see as follows:

First: 1-year Curse Premium
Second: 6-month Curse Premium
Third: 3-month Curse Premium
Everyone else: 1-month Curse Premium

1 question, can it be animated? As I am currently using an animated background.

So far, the contests were more axed on triggers and coding. We wanted to promote terrainers. And since it's extremly difficult to compare two terrains, we chose to use an only screenshot. Being "wallpaper" means that it is of good quality :)

As for the no photoshop, the goal is to promote map making, not photoshop pros :) It's the same for the cinematic contest that forbid post processing.

@ZeroAme: See it more as a Terraining Contest than a Wallpaper Contest. At least the Original idea at starcraft-mapping.de was that. So you need to make a terrain screenshot which is good enough to be used as a wallpaper
