Sony has today revealed details of a search for PlayStation’s next intern – sure to be sought-after by anyone looking to gain experience in the gaming industry. The month-long position, hosted by Swedish Studio Tarsier, will be awarded to the applicant who can create the best mini-game using upcoming PlayStation Vita title, LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita.

Sackboy’s first PS Vita adventure will be let loose on September 19th. Once the game is launched, would-be interns will have one month to get to grips with the all-new minigame creation feature and submit their efforts for consideration.

To test and review each entry PlayStation has assembled a crack team of portable gaming aficionados from across Europe. These PlayStation Judges will put each minigame through its paces before selecting a top five from each country. The final decision will then be handed over to the team at Tarsier – the studio behind LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita – to choose the overall winner. Submissions will be judged on gameplay, originality, and commercial appeal.

PlayStation has collaborated with Moleskine to create custom edition LittleBigPlanet notebooks. The top five finalists from each participating country will each receive one of these.

The overall winner will be flown to Sweden where they’ll spend one month working within the different departments of Tarsier, polishing their title from amateur excellence to a fully-fledged piece of official DLC.

Elliott Linger, Product Manager for LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita said: “Gaming is an exciting and fast-growing industry but it can be tricky to get your foot in the door. This internship offers a whole month’s experience at a great studio, all for creating an awesome minigame. We’re expecting hundreds of entries and can’t wait to see what players of LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita come up with.”

To enter would-be interns should head to http://lbpinternship.eu.playstation.com/, fill in a few details and include the unique LBP.me URL for their minigame. Applicants are advised to be inventive, PlayStation expects a ton of entries from the ultra-productive LittleBigPlanet community – make sure your minigame and application stand out!

Having nowhere near enough time to make a full minigame I'm just having to remaster my beta levels into 1, add a few extra puzzle rooms and submit it >.> Wish we had another few weeks for this! I have no idea on the closing time.2012-10-09 12:55:00

You could always publish your level in a slightly unfinished state today, submit the vita.lbp.me link, and then update it tomorrow. 2012-10-09 13:51:00

Good luck to everyone! :W00T!:

I've entered this but am wondering if I can update after the deadline. I'd just be adding some more variety to it. The concept would be exactly the same.2012-10-09 16:05:00

If I only had noticed this sooner, I would maybe have been able to create something, but meh. Hopefully they will do something like this another time too :hrmf:2012-10-09 19:28:00

LOL after sending them my 'minigame' (it's more of a mini game than a minigame ) I realised that it's currently 1 player only. They'd never accomadate 1P only DLC, oooops! Still, I shall carry on working on my own thing.2012-10-09 22:08:00
