GoAnimate.com is a site I found while doing research for something completely unrelated to games. When I saw they were having a contest for a Nintendo DSi, I knew I had to let you know.

They have decided to start off with two story lines or ideas. It will be your challenge to create animations around them! You can pick one or make entries for both ideas, but they have to be separate animations. They will have one Grand Prize winner and two runners up for each story line. But, you can only win once.

1. Story Idea #1 - Imagine it is Christmas Eve and Santa is nowhere to be found! Where has he gone you ask? Simple, he’s trapped in the bathroom! How and why did he get locked in there? Will he be able to escape in time? (Cue the mission impossible theme song) Will Christmas be ruined?!? These are all questions that you will need to answer!
    
2. Story Idea #2 - Put something outrageous on your Christmas List and create a story as to why you desperately need this "thing". Make sure to include how receiving this wish would impact your life.

2 Grand Prize winners will receive a new Nintendo Dsi (one winner for each story idea)
There will be 2 runners up from each story line that will each receive 2,000 Gobucks each

Disclaimer - Only the residents of the following countries will be able to receive a Nintendo Dsi: US, Canada, UK, France, and Germany.
