What do I have to do?
It's actually quite simple. Decorate your Pod in a desired theme, then make sure to dress up your Sackperson accordingly. Or decorate your Sackperson and then dress up your Pod accordingly, your pick! 
Anyway. Take a pic and then send it to us to be judged! If you got really intricate with your Sackboy, then make sure to send us some pictures of the costume close up too, but watch out, your maximum Sackperson pictures are two! It's that easy. The rest will be explained in the "How do I enter?" bit.
How am I judged?
You will be judged in two major categories: Originality of your theme and creativity of your decorations. The more creative and unique the better! Remember, you want us to keep you in mind while judging, so make sure to send us something that will really "wow" us!
You can include an explanation or description in the email you will send, but it is neither necessary nor something that will affect your chances of winning.
What is the judging process?
I know a lot of you are going to want to know this one. It's pretty simple. Each of the FIVE judges will pick their top 10 entries. We will then combine these lists all into one mega-list of around 50 entries. From there we will, as a group, narrow down the entries to the top 3 and then to the winner. When getting rid of entries in the final 50, it will take a 3/5 vote to scratch out an entry and then a unanimous vote to pick the entry.
Judges will remain anonymous until after the winner is announced. After that point, judges may reveal themselves if they wish.
How and What do I enter?
Well as I said before, you just send us your pictures. Now where do you send the pictures to? To loclbp@live.com of course! This is the only way to enter. There will be no special exceptions made to accomodate any one person. Now we are very specific about how you are to enter, so make sure to follow the following instructions. Failure to follow protocol will result your entry being disqualified. Please use the following format for your email subject/title:
PSN - Theme
Your PSN goes first followed by whatever theme you are choosing to use. It should end of being like the following example, though obviously with your own PSN and your own theme.
Ex:
zim1985 - Space
One entry per PSN!
In addition to your Pod picture, we are also allowing 2 other pictures for your Sackboy. You are required to have at least one 1 picture of a costume in your entry!
On top of the required picture, you can send in 1 other optional costume picture of a different angle or another costume if you had two in the pod. To clarify, the sackboy pictures must be of the exact same costumes as seen in the pod picture. If judges find these pictures are not the same your score will be lowered.
If you wish, you can use more than one costume in your Pod Picture, meaning that if having more than one costume will make the theme better, then go for it. Please keep in mind that even though you have more than one Sackperson, you are still only allowed 2 extra spots to send us pictures of them. Pick and choose which close-ups you want to send, because as we said before, we will only judge the first 2 that are sent in (see paragraph above).
Also, using other cameras other than the in-game camera to take a picture of pod and sackboy is okay, but will not affect your score in an way.
Please remember that the email is the ONLY WAY to enter. No PM's, no PSN messages. Another note. Judges will NOT be competing for obvious reasons. Just thought I would post that to avoid future discrepancies.
How do I get images from my PS3?
1. Take the photo using the in-game camera (Next to sticker editor tool)
2. Select the image, press square and select "Export to HDD".
3. Get a flash drive. You can buy them at Radio Shack, Any number of gigabytes will usually do.
4. Put the flash drive into one of the controller slots.
5. Quit the game and go to "pictures" on your PSN start-up screen.
6. Select the image you want to use, press square and select "Copy".
7. Take out the flash drive and put it into your computer.
What do I win?
Well I am very pleased to announce that the winner gets... *drumroll* ...A CROWN! Yes. I have been authorized to give one crown out to the winner of this contest! If that's not incentive enough to start planning to decorate then I don't know what is! Winners will be announced in the coming weeks after the contest is closed.
First prize winner gets one!
How long do I have?
The contest is going to run for 4 weeks from June 30th. That means the last day to enter submissions will be July 28th, 11:59 PST (Pacific Standard Time) which is GMT-8 hours. We believe this will be ample time for all of our submissions to get in.
Good luck to all! Happy decorating!
Sam_ProtagonistRighto - you're the boss of this contest but we're more than happy to stump up a Crown to the winner.
Let me know what rules and judging you'll use to pick the winner, how long you'd like it to run for, and I'll float the official contest post and get some promotion for you.
Right from the man himself
