The "UT99.org XMas 2012 mapping contest" was a "just for fun and 
bragging rights" competition organized by some folks at UT99.org 
open to all community mappers of the original Unreal Tournament.

The contest was to create a map that combined a Christmans theme
(snow, winter, xmas trees, santa claus, etc) with an "Epic" twist 
- that being to modify or combine recognizable Epic Games content 
or designs from Unreal or UT to create new maps.  The gametypes 
allowed were CTF, DM or MH. These RULES were initially voted by 
participating mappers but were not strictly enforced - so the maps
produced met the conditions to various degrees. 

No surprisingly, most of the maps submitted were Deathmatch maps, then 
there were a couple of CTF maps but unfortunately, no Monsterhunt maps.
Interstingly, there was a single Jailbreak map, and a pretty good one 
at that :) 

In the end there were 12 contestants and a very diverse collection 
of maps. The maps were then submitted to a reviewer to judge and at the 
same time a popular vote was held, the results of both yielded the 
winning map... 

QUOTE> FireFly (Judge): 
"Snow globe was the one that managed to get it all right: 
epic assets, Christmas theme (not just wintry) competition banner.
A very clever and original adaptation of the Face map.
Well done GenMoKai and thank you for an excellent map."
