Description
Map Labs has finally come to Portal! In our first-ever Portal 2 competition, we partnered with our friends at Thinking With Portals and Portal co-creator Jeep Barnett on this brand new collection for Portal 2's 10th anniversary: CHROMA. The theme was simple; make any Portal map you could think of, but give it a noticeable splash of color. This competition ran from 4th Apr. 2021 to 2nd May 2021, with 3 extra days of bonus time. It received 19 entries and 5 bonus entries, totaling 24 entries!

Once again, we'd like to thank Stract from Thinking With Portals for co-hosting and guest judging this competition, and of course Jeep Barnett. And an extra special shout out to Josh for helping get the Workshop file size increase through before the competition ended. Without you three, this competition wouldn't have been possible!
