Archive: 28 posts


Check it out:

http://littlebigplanet.us.playstation.com/post/2008/09/LittleBigChallenge-003-%E2%80%93-Official-in-game-SackBoy-costume-contest!.aspx

It seems it's US residents only, even though they say they'll have one costume from each of the US, Europe and Japan. I don't quite understand...

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Alright guys, 001 and 002 were just warm-ups. LittleBigChallenge 003 is a doozy?straight from Media Molecule.
------------------------

Like all great platform games, LittleBigPlanet? has a hero, our cool little SackBoy? that explores the world with you. One of the things that make SackBoy unique is that you can decide how he looks by changing his color, costume and style. We?re hoping you can help Sackboy look his best, by designing a brand new costume for him or his more lady-like equivalent, SackGirl.

Send us your inspired outfit ideas for SackBoy or SackGirl, and Media Molecule will pick three winners, one from Europe, one from America*** and one from Japan. The three winning designs will be available to download FOR FREE from the PLAYSTATION? Store for use in LittleBigPlanet in the near future.

Interested? Wonderful! Read on for more information on how to take part?

***Note, due to the unique prizing and rules, this contest is for US residents only. Apologies to our neighbors to the north, south, east and west; more announcements from Europe & Japan to come.

How to Take Part

All you have to do is download the SackBoy template below, open it in an image editor - such as Paint, Photoshop or Paintshop Pro - and draw on your costume design. Or even print it out, hand draw/color your costume, then scan it.

We?re looking for imaginative and interesting ideas with a splash of SackBoy?s endearing charm that suit the look and feel of LittleBigPlanet. So it doesn?t matter if you?re not a Photoshop expert, if your clothing concept is just a great idea, it will still be in with a good chance of winning!

Just one piece of advice: Be sure to avoid teeny-tiny details in your design as these may not be visible in-game.

The closing date for all entries is Tuesday, September 30th 2008 at 11:59 PST. Further important contest rules are at the end of this post ? please make sure you read them otherwise your entry might be disqualified! And we wouldn?t want that!

We can?t wait to see what fantastic costumes you create? Good luck!

Contest Rules

Click Here (http://littlebigplanet.us.playstation.com/file.axd?file=Official_LBC_Costume_Rules.doc) to Download Official Contest Rules

* Your SackBoy costume should be all your own work; don't use existing logos or designs, content or imagery created by someone else. So that means no Spidey or Mr T costumes, you crazy fool!
* Only one costume design can be submitted per person.
* Do not resize the template ? YxZ is just perfect the way it is.
* Only JPEG Format will be accepted for your design submissions.
* No questionable content; by that we mean stuff that?s illegal, gross or otherwise likely to give us nightmares.
* Further contest terms and conditions can be found here.

Important information for participants under the age of 13.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept contest entries from anyone under the age of 13. If you?re under the age of 13, you will need to ask a parent or guardian to send your costume design to us on your behalf. This is just so that we can be sure that you have their permission to take part in this design contest and for us to process your information.

Your parent or guardian will need to send an email from their own email account to t to playstation_community_support@playstation.sony.com with your design attached, as a JPEG, and include the following information:

* Full name of the parent/guardian and their relationship to you
* Your full name
* Your age
* What state you and your parent/guardian live
* Confirmation from your parent or guardian that they are happy for you to participate in this contest, and that they understand that the information we?ve requested will only be used for the administration of the competition, which may include (if your design has been selected as a winning entry) the publication of a winner announcement on the competition web page stating your name and country of residence.

They said that they'll announce the details of the Europe and Japan contests later.

Looks cool, I expected them to do this though. I talked about it with my friends a long time ago about how cool it would be to have a design a sackboy contest.

Anyway, I wonder what costume(s) will make it into the game.

I'm guessing it will be original designs as opposed to ones like Sack-Snake and Sackiroth. One's that look funny, cool and cute probably. Should be easy . /jk2008-09-06 03:58:00

I should design something very similar to a mudkip costume, just to see if they're willing to add it into the game. (I probably won't)2008-09-06 04:03:00

one from America***

Sounds like America is just for US residents or something, cause after that it says Japan.

Exactly, basically they're saying within the American continent, only US residents can participate. I'm a bit of a dissapointed Canadian at the moment. But I might still have some fun participating (on flickr at least ). I'll be doing this one with pencil and paper if I get around to it, to change things up from all the photoshopping I've been doing!

This is just like the Don't Panic! contest a few weeks ago...

I'm excited to see some of the entrants here. I don't think I'll do this one, but I may if I get a little bit a free time. I've got a pretty good amount of makeup work.

My Sackboy for the challenge. Just used a simple program in black and white, nothing fancy. But at least it's a chance to win.
