Based on the success of our AOME Custom Contest, we are excited to launch the Marvel Mini-Mates contest. It's real easy, and the prizes rock.

What's the Object?
We're being real open here. Using some Marvel Mini-Mates, make us something cool. It could be a desktop wall paper, or an animated buddy icon, a comic strip, an animation, a post card. Feel free to showcase your own homemade Mini-Mate. Anything.

What Are the Prizes?

Ok, So When is This Due?
October 5th, 2003 Midnight.

What Are All the Rules?
Simple, make something creative using at least one Marvel Mini-Mate by Art Asylum. You can mix pieces together, you can photo-shop em, you can animate em, whatever. Then:

• Join our message board (it's free)
• Post your entry in the official thread
  We can host files if you need it.
• We'll all vote on the winner. See how we're handling it with the AOME Contest.

Do I need to work in the MPb Logo?
You don't have to, but if you did, we'd probably add your submission to our site. So there's that going for you. If you want a high-rez version of the logo, let me know.

Aren't You Going To Give Us Any Inspiration Before You Leave Us Alone With Our Imaginations?
Glad you asked, we have loads of inspiration for you. Plus we learned our lesson the last time...
