You’ve always known that you had the heart of a great landscape artist, but never had the chance to bring forth that talent? Now’s the time to show us what you’re made of! Create a beautiful sandy shore and see your map integrated in-game!
The principle is simple: with an isometric grid (your creation space) and a few pictograms (representing sand, water, different rocks and vegetation, etc.) You will be able to ‘build’ a beach, a bit like playing with construction blocks!
To do this, simply use your favourite advanced image editing software, and assemble the pictograms! You can also add elements of your own creation.
For those of you who are not familiar with map construction, you can find a mini-tutorial explaining it here, which will show you how to create a basic map, and even a beach in this particular case!
Of course there are, it wouldn’t be much fun otherwise! Rest assured though, there aren’t that many:
In addition to receiving a unique ‘Landscaper of the year’ title and exclusive forum avatar, the winner will see his creation added in-game! The winner will be chosen by an impartial and incorruptible jury (unless you can send us some really amazing homemade chocolates that give magical abilities! ^^) made up of Poolay, Fhenris, Pixcraft, Zidrune and Kaoly.
You will have until August 1st at midnight to send us your creations. The jury will then deliberate for approximately 2 weeks before selecting and announcing the winner.
The winning entry will be incorporated in an upcoming patch, in the near or far future, when new maps will be added.

Well, now you have everything you need. Best of luck to all of you! We can’t wait to see your awesome creations.

the "(at)" is an @ ??
Other Question do we send with or without the grid?
Contest Rules:
The beach mustn’t be bigger than the grid we’ve provided for you - Note that you do not need to use the entire surface. Please take into account that it will be integrated into a much larger space.
and ya i think that you get access to the game by only entering you don't have to win...

You should see my map now.... where i started the grid looks perfect with the ground but the farther i went the more the grid fall outs of place
I hope they do

Indeed, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to win!
