Sunglass Man Dungeon Craft Design contest!

We're having an official Dungeon Craft 'themed' design contest. The winning design will be included in the default package as the official Dungeon Craft design.
The theme for the design contest is "A Village in the Woods". Interpret this as you feel is appropriate.

The rules are pretty straight-forward.
1. Must use default art, but may add your own art as needed.
2. Resolution for the design must be 640x480, which is the default resolution for Dungeon Craft.
3. Must be a fantasy setting. You may choose to set it in the Forgotten Realms (a Dungeons & Dragons world), but you aren't required to do so.
4. Must make use of at least one of each of the following events, in whatever form the author thinks is applicable: text statement, shop, temple, transfer (stairs, teleporter, or transfer module), combat, encounter, logic block, tavern, who tries, who pays, training hall, vault, special item, question list, and question yes/no.
5. Don't be offensive, we would like this to be playable for ages 13 and up.
6. Artwork used that is not part of the default art base must be original or explicitly allowed for use. In this case, explicit means that you either have personal permission from the artist, or a published statement that says the art may be used, eg. art released under GPL. Just finding some art on a website is not good enough. This is for the official DC design, so we don't want any future issues over copyright.
7. Maximum size for the design is 4 MB (zipped). Tip: use .png format for graphics for the smallest size and avoid using .mp3s.

The judges for the design contest are the current Dungeon Craft project Administrators, Tarlanon and manikus.

The contest starts today, April 3rd, 2008 and runs until August 2nd, 2008 at noon Pacific Daylight Savings Time. All entries should be mailed to manikus5@yahoo.com. I will send a quick reply to let you know I've received your entry.

The winning entry will be included with the next release of Dungeon Craft after the end of the contest. The design will also be hosted at SourceForge.net as a separate download for people who just want to play a good game.

If you have any questions, please ask. You may use any of the locations where this notice is posted, as well as the Open Forums at SourceForge.net, https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4978, or by emailing me directly a the above email.
