Long-winded Prologue
We've had loads of quality maps and mods in the Map Vault no matter when they were posted. From short but unique experiences to the most epic mods you remember a long time after playing, each one of them added to the bustling and growing database, showing how TWHL helped some of the now-skilled or even legendary mappers.
So, if current creations recieve awards for excellence, it's only fair to do the same with the older stuff, especially when there's such loads of quality work to choose from.
Here's how it all works:
Best of 2003-2006
Having to point out one creation from over a thousand available is quite a challenge, so instead - you are to choose 5 submissions you find worthy, list them from the very best to still worthy of winning and post them here (each will get 1-5 points according to their position in your list).
The Top 3 maps will all recieve extensive reviews, while the authors get their awards and a load of praising upon.
Best of Rules:
? The entry must have been posted in the Map Vault's completed maps section by its respective author between and including 07-06-2003 and 31-12-2006. (from cs_canbunk to krAzY)
? You can vote for 3 to 5 entries.
As for 2007 - MotY voting will be held to determine the best of this year.
Map/Mod of the Year, 2007
Same as above, only you get to vote for 3 submissions instead of 5. Only one winner here.
MotY Rules:
? The entry must have been posted in the Map Vault's completed maps section by its respective author between and including 01-01-2007 and 31-12-2007. (from fy_magic_fountain to de_dome)
? You can vote for 1 to 3 entries.
Rules applied for both MotY and Best of..
? You can't vote for a map/mod you've posted.
? You may only vote for a map from HL1/HL2/EP1/EP2 or one of their respective official mods. (Portal, HLDM/HL2DM, CS/CS:CZ/CS:S, DoD/DoD:S, TFC/TF2, BS, OpFor) or Spirit. (applies to maps only).
However, if a map was made for a non-official mod (e.g The Specialists, Natural Selection), which is currently available for download - you can vote for it too.
? You can vote for previous MotM or Competition winners.
? You can update/change your vote any time, so don't hesitate.
When voting - be sure to let us know what you're nominating the maps for (MotY or Best of, bolded or colored if you can).

[m]May the voting begin![/m]
P.S: Merged Best of 2003-2006 and Map of the Year 2007 in one thread to avoid spamming the forum with MotM stuff. If having both in one thread's too confusing - let me know, I'll split it up.
P.P.S: Don't forget about MotM: December! :>
