Show off your artistic skills and win!

The competition is now closed. We will announce the winner sometime tomorrow. Stay tuned!

To coincide with the release of the painfully addictive Flipnote Studio on DSiWare, we've teamed up with our good friends at Nintendo UK to offer lucky Nintendo Life readers the opportunity to win some great prizes.

To be in with a chance of winning simply create a animation which you think is technically brilliant, very funny or a cunning combination of both and upload it to the official Flipnote Studio website:

http://flipnote.hatena.com

Once you have uploaded your clip, simply embed it in the comments section below using the 'Hatena Notation' insert code, like this example:

flipnote:0FE91D40AA3E188F:3E188F_0904223D4264D_001

You simply need to copy-and-paste this code in-between square brackets like so: [xxxxxxxx]

The lucky winners will be chosen by the Nintendo Life team in a democratic fashion much like The X Factor, but with less crying and moaning from the losers.

Here are the amazing prizes which are on offer:

  • First place: 10,000 Nintendo points.
  • Second place: 6,000 Nintendo points.
  • Third place: 3,000 Nintendo points.

This competition is only open to residents of Europe and Australasia - sadly, if you're anywhere else in the world then we can't accept your entries, although you're perfectly entitled to upload an animation regardless. Nintendo Life staff members are not allowed to enter. Multiple entries are allowed, so feel free to have as many goes as you like - the only limit is your imagination!

And possibly your talent (or lack of).

The closing date for this competition is Wednesday 19th August – 9PM GMT.
