Agreed, the reason I got into mapping was because of the Artpass, I fiddled around with it and learned a ton, although i'm not a master yet (i'm still noob), I still had fun and learned a ton.

Go for it! You never know!

Yes.

If I can, I have a problem with the rule that states "3D skyboxes are not allowed.", because this means I can't have any fireworks going off in the distance, and the whole thing will be really lame.

Can't this rule be revised so that you can have like, a pretty simple skybox, so long as you don't extend the actual central detail of your map into the skybox to enlarge it?
No. 3D skyboxes are basically exploiting the size limit. You can always get creative with particle effects.

Sounds like an awesome contest. Considering I've never actually completed a fully functional map this seems right up my alley. Artpass/detailing is probably my favorite part of mapping so I may very well decide to enter - providing I come up with a suitable idea of course.

OnTopic: it's kinda hard to fill anything of interest around a control point with only 2048 hu. If it was 2048hu of walkable space, and then some out of bounds eye candy, sure, perfect scale, but right now I feel like my 2d skybox will be visible or I'll have to throw some random walls just to block it.

2d sky probably will be visible, but considering the rules state no 3d skybox I'm sure voters will overlook the fact that the skybox walls are likely to be visible.

I think ill go for this one.

should be fun!

Dose it matter if some props stick out of the limit a little bit as long as most of the prop is still inside the limits?

As long as you have origins and stuff inside the limits, that's fine by me.
