4Kids Ent. and Konami are launching the first-ever Yu-Gi-Oh! “Design your Destiny Card Contest.’ Starting Saturday, Oct. 14, fans of the trading-card game and animated series will be given the chance to submit their original drawings and a name for a new Yu-Gi-Oh! monster. The winner will have his or her design made into an official trading card to be included in a Yu-Gi-Oh! booster pack.
All submissions must be received by 4Kids Ent. by Nov. 3. A panel of 4Kids judges will then select contest winners from three age categories ranging from 3 to17. The winners will be announced on air in early January on 4Kids TV. In addition to getting their card published the booster pack, set to hit shelves in 2007, winners will receive a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force video game from Konami.
4Kids will also post some of the top submissions in a viewing gallery on www.4kids.tv, where fans will have a chance to nominate their favorite design in various categories.
Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted as a comic strip in Japan in the late 1990s and has rapidly become an international sensation. The sixth season of the popular anime TV series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX airs on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and other outlets around the world. A seventh season is now in production. For official contest rules and submission address, go to www.4kids.tv.
