The Mascot
Virtual Voices Village is looking for a mascot. Can you help to design it? Competition entries can be visual art, creative writing, or a combination of the two. The winning entry will be passed on to our team of engineers and scientists to bring to life as a full 3D model. Our mascot will then travel around the province, visiting students and getting involved with future Virtual Voices Village projects.
Hurry and submit your entries. The contest closes on May 23rd, 2008.
