Boom Blox competition!

EA and Toxic would like to give a school class a chance to get the inside look in how games are created and let them have a chance to create their best ever levels from the new Boom Blox Bash Party!  
 
We've teamed up with Shine Festival who are holding three sessions on the 9th July.  The festival is all about celebrating young talent.  The winning school class will be invited to come to central London for a three hour session.  The master class will involve them learning about getting in to the games industry and what the basics are to creating their own game by using the level creator in Boom Blox Bash Party.  Everyone that goes will get a copy of the game!

Find out how to enter by reading all the information below then email your entry to toxic@euk.egmont.com. Better yet, get your teacher to do it for you!
