Contest to design boards for Shaun White Snowboarding game now open

We’ve mentioned the upcoming Shaun White Snowboarding game for the Wii and other consoles several times before (can you tell we're excited?). It’s due out in the autumn and its developers Ubisoft are looking for a l’il audience participation to get it ready for release.

They’ve launched a design contest where users submit their own board designs and the best offerings (voted for by the public every two weeks) will be featured in the game.
As well as being featured in the game, the winners’ boards will also be made into real-life snowboards by Burton. You can also win prizes (Wii consoles, games and other goodies) by taking part in the voting process.

The contest is open now at www.artoftheride.com and all entries must be submitted by October 12.

Shaun White Snowboarding is in development for Wii, PS3, X360 and PC, currently scheduled for release in November 2008.

We’ll be reviewing it as soon as we can get our mitts on a copy!
