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.
Once your costume design is ready, just attach it to an email and send it to playstation_community_support@playstation.sony.com , with My SackBoy Costume as the subject line.
Hold on! Don’t send it just yet! Make sure you include the following information in your email too:
- Your full name
- Your date of birth
- Your PSN Online ID (if you have one)
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!
WAIT!!! One more thing…
It wouldn’t be a LittleBigChallenge if you didn’t share it with everyone, so feel free to post your ideas to our favorite sharing site, and don’t forget to tag it “LittleBigChallenge 003”
