The
LittleBigWorkshop
Monthly Level Theme
Create Contest
February
Well doesn't time fly?
We're already through our first month and the submissions are now in.
Now it's upto myself and the other judges to begin swimming our way through all the wonderful new water levels that are populating the LittleBigPlanet.
In the meantime though, I suppose we should announce the theme for February for you to work on
whilst we judge the January level entries.
After all I'm sure you won't complain about having another chance to win a Rare Prize Crown! 
So with all that said...
This month's theme is...
2x Player Levels!
It's February and Valentine's Day is fast approaching!
Love is in the air and Sackboys and Sackgirls are showing their love for each other across the LittleBigPlanet.
So why not give them a little help?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could give them 2x player levels that's been designed with their unique partnership in mind?
That's where you...
The Creators of LittleBigPlanet come in!
We want you to create levels that require 2x players to complete!
We've all seen levels on LittleBigPlanet that can be completed by a single player.
However this month we're looking for you to create levels that require 2 players to complete.
Which means that we'll need you to create puzzles and gameplay that will require a Sackperson to bring a friend along.
The more inventive and ingenius the two player gameplay, the better!
Other than the fact that the level requires two players to be completed, what visual theme you decide to base your level around is entirely upto you. 
So there you have it...
2x Player Levels!
Now that you know the theme, I guess that you would like some rules to follow.
If you participated last month, you should be familiar with them now.
However for the sake of everyone else, here they are...
Rules
1. The contest is open to ALL regions.
2. This contest is for the original LittleBigPlanet on Playstation 3, so please do not create and publish levels on LittleBigPlanet PSP for the purpose of entering this contest.
3. The level must relate to the theme of the month in someway, in this case the theme is 2x Player Levels and therefore the level must require two players to complete and no more than two players. Levels that can be completed by one player or require a minimum of three or four players to be completed are not acceptable for this month's theme.
4. The month's entries must be published before the 1st day of the following month. Meaning that the deadline for this month's theme of 2x Player Levels is February 28th.
5. Entries for each theme must be brand new published levels. We will not accept previously published levels that were originally published before the announcement of the month's theme. Any levels found to have been published before the announcement will be disqualifed.
6. Each player may only submit one level per month for the contest, any player found to have published more than one level will be disqualified for that particular month's contest.
7. There is only a single Prize Crown to be awarded to the winner chosen by the judges for each theme, which will be awarded to the PSN that the level is published under. You may use Online Create if you wish, however bear in mind that there's only a single prize on offer and it will be awarded to the publisher of the level.
8. At the end of each month, the month's theme will end and judging will begin. The judges consist of myself and a number of other community members who have been selected especially for the task of judging these levels. Whilst we will endeavour to pick the level that we feel is best amongst the entries, you may not always agree, however the judges' decision is ultimately final.
How To Submit Your Level
To submit your level for this month's theme, just add the term "LBW2" to your level's name.
LBW for LittleBigWorkshop and the number 2, since it's the 2nd month's contest.
I think you'll be able to spot the pattern beginning now and how you'll need to label your level for future months too.
For this month though, the term is "LBW2".
Just put that term into your level's name and provided that you publish the level before March 1st and the level meets the month's theme, it will be eligible.
When writing the term "LBW2" in your level name, you must ensure that the phrase doesn't have any miscellaneous characters either side of the term without a space in between. It's been discovered the LittleBigPlanet's search engine will not locate your level if it has such characters directly before or after the given term. So to be on the safe side, just write the term for the month and ensure that you have a clear space either side.
Judges will not be held responsible for not judging a level they couldn't locate due to not following these given instructions.
With the correct term in your published level's name though, we should be able to locate the level on the LittleBigPlanet server and judge it accordingly.
So just follow the instructions above and your level should be fine.
Once you've published your level, feel free to use a single post in this thread or even the Promotion Zone to promote your level to the masses, although whether you choose to promote your level further is entirely optional.
However I must request that you do not ask the judges for their opinion on your level until after this particular theme has ended and the winner has been announced. This applies to all future themes, we will not discuss levels submitted until after the winner has been announced for any given theme.
We don't mind giving feedback for future reference but it's only fair to the other contestants, that we keep our thoughts on your level to ourselves until we have officially declared a winner.
Similarly please do not ask the judges if they have found and/or played your level yet.
Quite simply we will most likely have a lot of entries to get through and we just will not have the time to keep answering such questions.
Therefore it is vitally important that you remember to place the given term into your level's name, as the judges will not be held responsible for not judging any levels that they are unable to locate on the LittleBigPlanet server due to the level not being published in the manner described.
That should be everything you need to know for this month's contest!
Any questions, feel free to send a PM my way.
Good luck with creating those 2x player levels!
In a month's time, I'm sure we'll have fun getting together with friends and seeing if we can work together to complete all the new levels that have appeared on LittleBigPlanet.
Update
Due to the recent issues concerning the PSN and Playstation consoles in general, the deadline for this month's theme has been extended until the end of the 2nd of March.
That gives you until the end of today to get those levels finalised and published for this month's theme.

Bah...
And after remembering to change the date right next to it... 
Oh well, fixed now.
This month's theme of 2x Player Levels does indeed finish on February 28th.
Water levels were last month.
I'm wondering about Already created levels? Are they allowed to be entered?
Like JoC's Industrial Assistance, & KZK07's Teamwo2k?
Or is it, Every Month the Contestants have to Publish a Level, Not Previously Published before (I say that because some may have Half-Created levels on their Moon, Which fit the Theme?)
