Today it is time to kick off the second submission for the Intel / Crysis Mapping Contest. Everyone who is working on a Singleplayer map for this contest should read the following important information about the Singleplayer Alpha Screenshot Submission which is kicking off today.

What To Submit
In order to minimize the amount of wrong submissions please read the following text carefully. It will include a detailed description what exactly is needed, what can be left out for now and what is not required until the final level submission starts.

I am working on a level for the contest, what do I need to submit now?
1. First of all, this submission is only for Singleplayer levels. (You are still able to submit your Multiplayer Alpha Screenshots until 4th of March though. Read more about it here)
2. Submitted needs to be screenshots of your level, no Alpha/Beta .cry files are needed at all. These can be taken either ingame or in the Editor.
3. This submission is about the Alpha status of your singleplayer level. So please avoid submitting final screenshots.
4. At least two alpha screenshots of your singleplayer level need to be submitted (max. amount: 5 pictures, max size per file: 1600*1200px, 2MB)
