Flash 8 Contest - Win a car!

Okey, so everybody is experimenting with the cool new version of Flash that has just been released; Flash 8. There is lots and lots to learn and play with. Scion who’s parent company is Toyota, make cars, they have decided to team up with Macromedia to run a Flash 8 competition for people based in the United States.

The idea is simple, build something cool that is under 10mb in size and less than 2 minutes in length with Flash 8. It can be anything an animation, an interactive toy or some new funky effect, just ensure that it uses some of the scion assets (videos, logos etc..) and preferably uses some of the new features in Flash 8.

Submit your entry and you can win yourself a brand new Scion Car or a copy of Macromedia Studio 8.

The guy’s at Scion, Me, Grant Skinner, Eric Dolecki, David Nelson from Method and Andy Hall will be judging all the entries and will choose the ultimate winner of the car and the runners-up.

So, why not experiment and put yourself up for a chance of winning a great prize at the same time? Makes sense really!

View the website for more information.

Dont forget to checkout some of the Flash 8 demos on the site, Andy Hall’s experiment is particularly cool.
