by Kiven on June 5th, 2008

3D Buzz has just announced the Old School Level Design Contest for Unreal Tournament 3! The Unreal mod community is in need of some new recruits, and they want you to be one of them.

This contest is unique in that ONLY those assets included with the retail version of Unreal Tournament 3, published by Midway, are permitted; absolutely NO custom content can be used in your level. This means that even if you’re completely new to the modding scene, you still have a chance to win some incredible prizes, including a chance to have your level reviewed by none other than Epic’s Design Director, Cliff Bleszinski!

Contest Prizes:

Grand Prize Winner:

- $1000 cash prize
- PlayStation 3 game console (or $500 cash)
- Autographed copy of Unreal Tournament 3 signed by the developers
- Video review of your level by the staff of 3D Buzz
- Video review of your level by Epic Design Director Cliff Bleszinski

First and Second Runners-Up:

- PlayStation 3 game console (or $500 cash)
- Autographed copy of Unreal Tournament 3 signed by the developers
- Video review of your level by the staff of 3D Buzz

This first contest involves the creation of a Deathmatch type map. Entry requires that all contestants create a frequently updated Work-In-Progress forum thread over at 3D Buzz’s website at 3dbuzz.com
