Seasonal Spirits Crown contest

[OmegaSlayer]

As the rustling leaves and spooky spectacle of Halloween fades in the lengthening winter nights...
Cold winds and snowflakes herald the approach of Christmas festivities ahead!

But something else is emerging from the shadows!
A brand spanking new, sparkling, seasonal Crown contest for everyone to enjoy some CREATE-SHARE-PLAY fun!



we're extremely pleased to deliver the first major Crown Contest to be co-hosted by two fun filled fan sites!
The winner will receive a shiny LBP crown to add to their Christmas decorations and two...yes TWO!! Exclusive in game winners pins!


- Creators are required to create an original previously unpublished level of any genre combining all the best elements of the two seasonal celebrations. Halloween hobgoblins and happy elves, platforming pumpkins and partying penguins all come together to share the fun!

-The level must have gameplay/scoring elements.

-one level slot/thermo per entry. No level-linking of any kind.

- Originality is the name of the game. That means Nightmare Before Christmas or generic zombie survival levels will be sternly frowned upon!

-Register your participation here or on LittleBigNetwork and publish your level between friday 14th- mon 17th December including the prefix SSCC at the start of your level title.

-runner up prizes for players and some other surprises in store too!

Have fun and feel free to post any questions in this thread.




FAQs

If I build a level with a friend, does my friend get a crown too?
The account on which the winning level is published gets the crown, but the two exclusive pins can be arranged for both you and your friends.

Is this contest for LBP Vita?
It's just for LBP2 (or LBP1) on the PS3. There will be some contests for Vita in the new year.

Are participants required to sign up on both sites?
No. You can register your participation in the contest here on LBN, or on LBPC, or on both sites if you feel like it.

Are short cutscene intros alright as long as they're not split through level links?
Yes, that would be fine.

How much scary can I be?
Remember the game's rating.

Going to be fun for all the family! A great way to spread the create-play-SHARE spirit on LBP over Christmas.

[Pyrotrooper91]

That's a great contest Might give it a go!

[EnochRoot]

As originality will be one of the judging criteria try and avoid any ' Nightmare before Christmas' tributes as it could infringe copyright and ruin any chance of a MM pick as well.

Great idea for a contest! Am I to assume it is LBP2 only? You haven't mentioned Vita.
Not sure if I'll have time to enter sadly.

[KrokZombie]

Might enter this one !

But I have a question, if I make the level with a friend, is he going to get a crown too if I win ?

[yugnar]

Excellent idea guys! I just CAN'T imagine the huge number of entries this will have as fans from the Network will participate as well as the ones from LBPC. May give it a try!

[RenoTonakai]

I would love to take part, count me in!

[Valeview]

Do we have to register now, or does it have to be before dec. 14th or something?
I'm not too sure about entering, so I'd just like to know

This is going to be an awesome contest and I can't wait to see what the community has in store for us. I'm so elated to see LBPC and LBN working together on this, what a great collaboration! Good luck to all who enters.

[Kand2ts]

This is great, I will definitely be watching this contest. Best of luck guys

[Patofan]

I'll probably give this a try. We can't publish the level before that date, right?

[OmegaSlayer]

Right, no publishing before the window we sadistically and for no reason choose

[Night Angel]

Maybe I'll actually commit to this contest, considering I've been fiddling with a Christmas level for a while

Nice to see these two sites co-hosting this contest. Definitely a wonderful collaboration for the community!
