Peggle Art Contest

Okay, the yucky spring weather has me down I have been neglecting my blogging duties, but here’s something that you guys might be interested in…

PopCap Games is hosting a Peggle Art Contest. Send in your idea for a new Peggle character and his/her Magic Power and you have the chance to win some pretty cool stuff! For example: a trip for 2 to Seattle, $500 shopping spree at Best Buy, and an iPhone or Xbox. Not too shabby!

You can enter through email or regular mail and the contest has two age categories – 18 and over, and 17 and below (with parental consent). It started March 3 and you have until June 3, 2009.

So get goin’ all you artsy types!

MTV Virtual Video Contest

And just so long as you’re feeling creative (you know, from rapping at RapHappy), you might as well make your own music video, too. MTV, along with Metacafe, is sponsoring a Virtual Worlds Virtual Music Video Contest.

If you enter, you’ll have access to music tracks, video clips and online editing tools to create your own music video which will be posted on Metacafe for judging. The winner will receive a Sony Vegas Pro 8 Professional AV Editing and DVD Creation System and entries are due December 2.
