My first vote goes to Ascension. Very clever concept and beautifully executed terrain. I'd like to see some labels and icons to turn it into an actual map, though.
Vote #2 is for torq. There is very little to complain about concerning this map. The only thing that bothers me about it is the prominence of the rivers. Both their width and the dark stroke cause them to overshadow the other topographical features. This is, however, a challenge about rivers, so I suppose that's not a terrible flaw.
#3: RobA. You thoroughly nailed HandsomeRob's style. I'd like to see you bring some of your own personality to it, though.
And the fourth vote is for Overwatch. Once more, a unique concept and superb bit of artwork. Some explanation of what your symbols mean would be helpful. The flags and arrows are obvious enough, but I couldn't puzzle out what the boxes with x's in them were. I haven't seen much of your work yet here, but what I have has been rather monochromatic. That may just be a coincidence, but if, like me, you're nervous about color, there are some excellent links to online color scheme generators in the Reference Material forum. I have found them invaluable.

I don't have the time to check every map to see if it actually met the criteria or not and I'm not gonna disqualify anyone for violations because I could have been more helpful.
I picked Torq cuz I'm so envious of those colors...very pleasant to look at.
I picked RobA cuz that style is so difficult.
I picked Map Vandal because I like his twisty rivers and nice colors.
I picked Torstan cuz it retains a hand drawn look but stylish as well.
My Honorable Mention goes to Korba cuz he made a map that I thought was me.
Overwatch has a cool style and will probably be duking it out often for wins.
Benarius is also quite nice but the colors were a bit too bright for me; joining and jumping into a challenge right off is tough and with a bit of refinement he'll be pushing us to do better soon as well.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
