Prequel to the Sequel Competition Results!

PRESENTS THE RESULTS: Hiya everybody! As you may very well know, for the past few months, Sacktastic™ has been running our first ever LittleBigPlanet Competition in which users try to recreate any sort of specific LittleBigPlanet 2 Level, but in LittleBigPlanet 1 for the PlayStation 3. This one was especially...well, special! Why you ask? Because the Winner has been Promised to Receive an Ultra Rare Prize CROWN to Wear in Both LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2, thanks to the amazing folks over at Media Molecule & Sony PlayStation. First we'd like to say that the contest went really well. Through this process, we gained tons of traffic, had a great amount of levels entered into the contest with lots of people putting some really hard work into their creations, and many new friendly community faces have joined us along the way. All properly submitted entries were judged by the Sacktastic™ Team in aspects of accuracy, quality, originality, and fun. There are three main places for the winning trio, along with a few different special sections where we will recognize specific levels that did not win, but excelled in particular aspects of the judging process and deserve to be mentioned. So without further ado...we'd like to Officially Announce the Results of the Sacktastic™ "Prequel to the Sequel" Competition! THE NEWLY 'LBP ROYAL' WINNER OF THE SACKTASTIC™ "PREQUEL TO THE SEQUEL" COMPETITION IS...   Lady_Wulf / PSN: Barachiel- for the level  "Sacktastic:PttS - Caterpillar Climb" *Congratulations Lady_Wulf! You are now the newest member of the LittleBigPlanet Royalty Family. Your level truly blew us away on all sections of the chart. It was highly accurate and represented the real level perfectly and it had a lovely and pleasing design to it. On top of all this, it was made flawlessly while only using the tools provided in the Original LittleBigPlanet PlayStation 3 Game, yet it still replicated the unique LittleBigPlanet 2 Feeling oh so well. Your level is truly one of the most impressive games ever...out of all of the millions of levels now published on LBP. We can tell a lot of hard work and effort went into creating this entry and thus; we feel that your win was definitely well deserved. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS - we will contact you shortly with a Special PlayStation Store Promotional Code for your Region that will allow you to download your Rare Prize CROWN DLC!
