The goal is to create new artwork during this contest in terms of models, textures and levels free to use for this commuity.
I bought tons of artwork from different sites but I am not allowed to upload the assets (models, textures and sounds) for free use into the AUM section.
You can use your level if you manage to replace those assets from dexsoft and terminal26 with your own until the competition is closed (in about 7 month).
In the context of programming my UT99-like game I created a few Deathmatch-Levels that make use of some Dexsoft and Terminal26 models and textures. Is a contest entry guilty when using this stuff or do I have to make everything including textures and models by myself? Do you know something about copyright when giving away this Dexsoft stuff together with a non-published project?

It is allowed to be inspired by layouts from other maps. Just make sure your textures and models don't look identical.
(is it allowed to steal the layout from other maps? i mean all art will be made by me or i will have the right to copy , and will make it from scratch. just the design of the map?)
I am not sure what you mean with "right to copy". You cannot use free textures from other sources or free models from turbosquid. You can however build a team with another artist if you want to use his artwork. Well, the other artist has to know about this competition and should confirm his artwork can be used for free after the competition is over.
