StarCraft II Custom Map Contest

StarCraft II Custom Map Contest

You've conquered the single-player campaign and climbed the multiplayer ladder -- but do you have what it takes to be a StarCraft II custom map designer? In our first-ever StarCraft II Custom Map Contest, we're challenging you to craft the most fun, creative, and polished custom map that the galaxy's ever seen.

If you think you've got the skills and the imagination, fire up the StarCraft II Editor that came with your copy of the game and get started. The Editor is a powerful, robust, and complete development tool, and it's everything you'll need to build your creation. Keep in mind that we’re looking for originality, innovation, and fun, so whether you want to make the next DotA, craft a mini-RPG, or concoct a third-person shooter, let your imagination run wild.

Interested? Then head on over to the contest page to find out more about the prizes and read the official rules.

@CaptianRex: Go to the start menu and click on the files button. Go to the "Starcraft 2" file and it should be there.
Also, i would suggest looking up tutorials on youtube or on the forums, since they changed the map editor from Starcraft 1

I really love that it IS in Program Files! There were way too many noob-made maps that were just a waste of time in sc1. my advice = hide the Editor deeper in the SC2 file. XDD

I've been having issues connecting man made cliff walls to natural cliff walls. blizzard has done this in many of their maps but for some reason the editor seems to repel the connection of the two. :/ anyone know what i'm talking about?

For those unable to find the editor, How about seraching in your program files a bit, duh?

I'm already on a type of map I'll be alone to create. A new genre. And I shall be the winner, if Blizzard let me time enought to make my studies aswell! God, shool hurts me hard on life time :)

Damn, and I got this bad-ass idea. If only I knew how to use the editor like a professional developer, I could enter and probably have a good chance of winning. I just DON'T know scripting and programming that well. :(
