Mapmaking Contest
I thought it would be time for a new challange around here, so here it is:
Heroes III Mapmaking Contest
Part 1: Participating
The aim is to make a aesteticly beautiful (piece of) map design. It Doesnt have to be functional, it doesn't even have to be playable. Use your creativity and show HC what you're capable of!
You may use all the objects available in the editor and use all the tricks and tools you know. if you know how to add objects to the editor you are free to do so for this contest. When you are satisfied with your result you have to post a screenshot of your (piece of) map in this topic and give it a representative title. It is not allowed to use software like photoshop to improve your entry. you may use this software to cut the artwork out of it's context however.
Part 2: Voting
All participants make a top 3 of the entry's they like most. number 1 gets 3 points, number 2 gets 2 points and number 3 gets 1 point. Only people who voted get their points!
The winner of the contest wins a free copy WOG

Very good idea  . I'm in .
The Forests of AvLee - Town of the Dwarves and Elves
There are many details, it took quite some time.
North-West, there is the Swamp of the Mighty Hydras. In the middle of the picture is the Famous Waterfall of the Goddess Alena. Some have said, that Alena was the first Elf ever to enter the Forests of AvLee. Some Griffins are guarding the entrance to the Sacred Cave of the Manticores.

@Salamandre, I can't wait for Stargate Atlantis, that project looks very promising, all the planets are fantastic .
@E-J, so, when everyone has posted their maps, anyone can vote? Or just the Map Makers? And, can a person vote for him/her-self?
@EDIT, LizardWarrior, you weren't allowed to edit the map by any graphics tool.

Its not a good idea to run a contest about that, because playability is also part of the thing. I would suggest only to let people post their phantasm screen.
Hopefully Lizard Warrior is not yet a mapmaker.

Mixing objects is a good way to make the map much cooler. Just wait I'll post some too in a minute..

Deadly labyrinth.
There is a mixture between cursed ground and rocklands. If the player walks on cursed ground, there is instant death. The rocklands path is hard to follow when in labyrinth because of the permanent fog from town. But it is safe.

Teleporter in alert!
I know who did that the first time, Grigor Minchev. I was looking one of his maps with the SoD map editor (long time ago, when I didn't have WoG), in that map, I saw the Market of Time. I had no idea what it was. Then I searched the internet, and *BOOM* - I had WoG .

 i didn't expect that many entry's in such a short time
the original idea was to keep it open for 1 month or until enough participants are found. the voting would begin directly afterwards.
but i don't mind if this would lead to a "post your awesome map-art here" thread

You opened Pandora box 
I love the HoMM editor exactly as much as I hate scripting ERM. But it needs to be done.
