Good idea with the ancient civ contest (but not with daylight requirement).
PS: I'm always open for the zombie contest. The living dead, however, are not too popular.

but yes nothing more amazing then traveling in a fan mission and hearing a dog barking as a feeling of life rushes through me

We've done it with OMs before, but now I'd love a contest where you have to remake/modify a FM made by someone else. Not an abandoned project, you'd take a real finished and published mission as a base, and either modify the objectives, graphics or both. One of the criterias for voting would be the ability to make something completely different out of it.
Yes an excellent idea......

I'd love to see this kind of recycling too. And maybe I can actually contribute something.

I would love a contest about exotic or ancient places , like Greek temples, Alexandria temples, Egypt temples, Roman temples.
THIS!

I think the architecture-themed contests aren't that big of a challenge to our seasoned mappers. What I'd like to see is more level-design and gameplay-oriented contest.
How about taking a floorplan from completely different game genre, like multiplayer games, to see if you can translate that space into stealth gameplay. Multiplayer shooters have very well thought out layouts that basically celebrate the player movement. Take the Quake 3's iconic Campgrounds map and make it a Hammerite mountain fortress, that kind of thing.

Yesi know what you mean, i´ve played all q3 fan arenas from here :
(

and from other sites. the maps even being in the majority highly detailed and well design are small, and q3 radiant regarding level design is more flexible even with New dark. But i agree with you, there should be more efforts on level design.

But level design for a Thief FM and level design for a multiplayer shoot em up are completely different animals. Maybe that's the point of the idea here, but in the end I don't think it will lead to the creation of good Thief levels.
A contest theme should be challenging but also produce levels that people actually want to play.
