Ever wanted your art appearing in a video game? Normally, that’s called advertising and it costs money. For you poor folk out there like me, Ubisoft’s letting you put your artistic talents to work and design boards for the upcoming Shaun White Snowboarding game.
You’ve got from now until mid-October to submit your board designs to Ubisoft’s Art of the Ride site, where two winners every other week will get their snowboards included in the final game. All winners will receive prizes such as Wii consoles, and one will even have their design turned into an actual snowboard.
Be sure to head on over to the site to check out the existing winners and vote on the current entries!
UBISOFT HOSTS SHAUN WHITE SNOWBOARDING CONTEST THAT LETS FANS CREATE THEIR OWN BOARD DESIGNS FOR THE GAME
September 15, 2008 – Today Ubisoft announced an online contest inviting fans to submit designs of their very own custom snowboard to be included in the upcoming release of Shaun White Snowboarding. Fans will be able to vote on their favorite board design, and every two weeks the top two designs with the most votes will be made into playable boards in the Shaun White Snowboarding video game.
Along with the prestige of having their board design immortalized in video game history, first-place winners will receive coveted prizes including Ubisoft games or a Wii(TM) system. In addition, all first-place winners will have their board designs put to a final vote, and one will be created into an actual, real-life snowboard!
The contest is now open, and all entries are due by October 12.
