The Rules

• The entry must be constructed from any of the the Arma 2 titles
• All Community members are welcome
• Each entry must be single-player and contain a proper Overview, Briefing and cinematic Intro and Outro
• You may submit more than one entry
• Only missions that have not yet been released by 30 June 2011 are eligible for entry! (includes Beta releases)
• All entries MUST contain a Readme file in the download, crediting content from others, be it original or modified scripts etc. Failure to disclose or deliberate false representation is automatic disqualification
• Community addons are welcome, up to 1 GB. That's an upper limit, NOT a minimum limit! If you think a vanilla unit/island can do the job instead of an addon, go with vanilla. Only use addons if you really feel it is necessary and adds to the experience!
• No automatically/globally activated mods, e.g. AI mods, sound mods. Feel free to suggest using them, but do not make it a requirement (judging will be done without the mods loaded)
• No Total Conversion Mods, e.g. ACE, SLX. Feel free to make them compatible or optional, but not required (judging will be done without the mods loaded)
• You will be penalized for mistakes the addon maker has made! If the addon throws up error messages, causes havoc in the .rpt, is unoptimized, ugly, sounds bad or doesn't work properly, this will reflect in your score. So choose wisely if you decide to use addons!

The Deadline

The competition begins today with a deadline of 1st September 2011, 00:00 GMT. Entries submitted after this time will not be accepted.

The Judging

The entries will be judged by a panel of four anonymous Community members. The categories which entries will be judged on are as follows:

• Originality - How fresh and creative the mission is
• Immersion - How captivating the mission is
• Technical framework - How well the mission design works
• Replayability - How freely the player can adopt his own tactics
• Overall - How the mission fits together as a whole

All entries that are found complete and free of bugs will be uploaded to OFPEC's Mission Depot Archives to stand alongside the greats from the past.
