If you're pumped for LittleBigPlanet, it's already time to get creating, as the gracious folks over at Media Molecule are hosting an official SackBoy design competition.

Here's what you have to do. Using the template below, design a creative costume for SackBoy or SackGirl using photoshop, paint, or any other imaging program. If you want, you may even print it out, color it, and scan it in later.

The winners -- one from Japan, one from Europe, and one from the U.S. -- will have their characters professionally created and made available as a free PlayStation Store download. The contest closes on September 30 at 11:59 PST.

Is your interest piqued? If so, check out the official rules and regulations right here.

    Cool contest but Canada is not included which is a shame. @3 if you own a computer then you most likely own paint as it comes with all versions of windows and it is as straightforward as it gets.

    @6 I've been reading your comments as of recently.  I have concluded that you have just come out of a time portal from the 70's and have no idea as to what you are talking about. How in the world do you NOT know what this game is? If the time portal theory is not correct, I will assume you got a PS3 for MGS4 and pay no attention to anything Playstation related.  Do some homework before you post.

    Cut him some slack DreamsofAnarchy. Not everyone on the world are well informed. Some people are not glued to psu 24/7.

    I can't be bothered entering the competition, if LBP is as good as what I'm hoping I'll be able to make the costumes myself.

    @7 wow, little harsh dont be a tool. like someone said maybe he doesnt look up game info 24/7 or even for 8 hours aday. but whatever. and at @6 I think looking the game up on this site or even youtube will answer the question better than a response
