Attention amateur songwriters/singers/lyricists: No longer must your talent be shackled to basement concerts for your cats and stuffed animals. Now, if you enter our "Now You're A Songwriter (or You Have To Write the Lyrics)" contest, your skills could net you fabulous prizes.
Here's the skinny: You know the hit game You Have to Burn the Rope featuring the also hit song "Now You're a Hero," right? Well, we're giving you a chance to re-do the song with your own lyrics about a memorable gaming moment in excruciating detail. All you have to do is get the background music, make your own MP3 and go here to submit it to us. It's that simple. Don't feel shackled though, if you want to bust out some musicianship or editing skill on your submission, go crazy. Be creative.
The best entry will win a white DS Lite as well as Professor Layton and the Curious Village or The World Ends With You. Runner up will get the other game. But, more important than prizes, we'll be playing some of the best entries during the Joystiq Podcast this month, so you'll want to submit ASAP. If you're curious about this sort of thing, official rules are right here.
