Our very own director of Maps, MonolithicBacon has assembled his own judging team from the staff at COH2.ORG. The members of this august body and their judging criteria will be announced shortly. MonolithicBacon's crack team will create a shortlist of the leading maps, halfway through the duration of the event. This gives you time to improve your map based on their expert feedback before the final submission is due.

Calling all mapmakers! Do you think your map has what it takes? Now is the time to show us what your map is made of! COH2.ORG is proud to announce the very first map making contest for Company of Heroes 2. Prizes are yours if you can design a new map that will capture both the hearts and minds of the community. Give your maps that lonely, brutal feeling that the Eastern front inspires. We want atmosphere! While it does sound tempting, a map full of MickeyD's and shoe shops won't do as well as a constant, bloody battle over what can only be described as a mass grave.A special shoutout goes to one particular COH2.ORG community member. Since he wanted to remain anonymous, we can only express our gratitude by saying that the entire COH2.ORG staff is very grateful for his generous donation!Another warm thanks goes out to Airborne Ales . This recently founded craft beer company shares interests when it comes down to WW2 and beer so we decided to team up! Airborne Ales was kind enough to give us $200 and Airborne Ales T-Shirts! Also check out the Airborne Ales Facebook page . Airborne Ales... Beer for the Brave!Relic and Sega were kind enough to provide us with DLC codes and signed Company Of Heroes 2 soundtracks.The final thanks goes to you guys. You mapmakers, who made the effort of sending us your work. Your long hours of work with the WorldBuilder are much appreciated. We hope we can give you guys the recognition you so deserve!
