Whether spanning vast bodies of water, deep crevices or other hazards, bridges are architectural wonders that allow us to easily pass otherwise impossible barriers.

Not only are they intricate pieces of engineering, but the limited routes offered by bridges makes them key strategic points in any battle and creates unique gameplay elements in maps. That's why this week we want you to create a map centered around a bridge (or bridges).


You have 31 days to come up with a playable map for ANY PC GAME based around the theme of "BRIDGES" and upload it to the contest category.


1st Place: $200
2nd Place: $100
3rd Place: $50

We've got over $1,500 worth of prizes to give away! To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is create a unique "weather" themed item for TF2 between now and the next 3 months!
