Ottawa, Nov. 18: Warner Bros. and Gamexilla present Tom & Jerry’s Animation contest!

Many of you out there love animation. We hear ya, and are in agreement. Cartoons rock, and is one of the best artforms of expression and communication ever! To celebrate this fact, Warner Bros. and Gamexilla have teamed up, to help our readers really show off their animation skills, and get a little reward for their efforts!

First off, the prizes:
4 winners will receive a DVD copy The Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection DVD 2-disk set.

If you are a real student of animation, you’ll appreciate this prize. It features over 40 restored and unedited classic shorts that are breathtaking in their beauty and originality. And really darn funny!

So, how does the contest work?
You can enter one of 3 ways, as follows.

“¢You can enter an animated piece. It can be hand drawn, or Flash, or CG—whatever you prefer. Doesn’t matter. It can be of any character or topic. You can even re-enter a piece you may have used in another Xilla contest.

“¢You can enter a storyboard break down. Black and white pencils. If you do this, it must utilize Tom and Jerry, or other Hanna Barbera characters in some form.

“¢Finally, you can enter a normal drawing, painting, sculpture, or whatever. This too, must contain Tom, Jerry or another classic HB character. You can use any style (ie. If you want to do a realistic version of fred Flintstone as a real Caveman, or Scooby Doo as Picasso may envision him, etc.)

And remember, no GORE or NUDITY in this one (save that for the Species III contest!)

Due to the special nature of this contest, we’re giving you 8 weeks to enter. So, you have until Thurs. DECEMBER 16th!

Good luck! And don’t forget:
Enter as many times as you like, and check out our current entries at this link.
