The Banjo Community proposes a contraption competition
Power to the imagination!
Holidays are approaching, and Nuts & Bolts owners and future purchasers will finally enjoy of some extra spare time to spend in Mumbo Motors building all kind of surrealistic contraptions. Rare knows it, and thus they have decided to improvise a competition among those users who upload their creations to the official website’s showroom.
“Key members of the Banjo team will be poring (pawing?) over the uploaded photos in a quest to track down the seven very best player-built contraptions. But for what purpose, we imagine hearing you cry? Only the sweetest award that can be bestowed on a gamer: in-game immortalisation. Who needs YouTube when your act of creativity could earn you a genuine place in Banjo history? Think of the bragging rights! “
“While it’s a secret (to everybody) as to how we will pull off this daring deed, we promise you it will be really very cool and probably not how you might imagine. Once the Banjo team has made its seven selections, we’ll reach out to the contraptions’ creators via their Gamertags and ask them to send us their blueprints for our mysterious purposes.”
- Deadline for entries is January 4th 2009, 12 midnight PST. This gives players the whole holiday to get creative on us.
- Anybody with a copy of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and an Xbox LIVE account can enter.
- You can submit as many contraptions and photos as you like; just remember that the cream always rises to the top.
- Wow us! Shock us! Just don’t post dodgy contraptions (don’t play coy, you know what we mean). The entry must be your own original work, infringe no copyrights and reference no third party trademarks, music, logos, names or images.
- In order to be included you’ll need to allow Microsoft rights to distribute your entries, letting the widest possible audience marvel at your machinery.
- Just to be clear, this is not a competition with some kind of tacky physical memento as a prize. We’re not giving away our secret by saying what the reward is just yet…
