- Top Fan Submissions From U.S. and UK to be Incorporated Into Future
Peggle Installment; Prizes Include Trips to Seattle, Retail Spending Sprees,

SEATTLE, Washington and DUBLIN, Ireland, March 3 /PRNewswire/ --

PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today
announced a first-of-its kind Peggle(TM) Art Contest, with the top
submissions being immortalized in a future installment of the cult classic
casual video game. The contest, which opens today and runs through June 3,
2009, is one element of Peggle Fever, a months-long celebration of all things
Peggle. Peggle Fever will include other contests and sweepstakes while
celebrating the arrival of new adaptations of Peggle for Nintendo DS
(arriving today in the U.S.), Apple's iPhone, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and XBLA
service, and more.

Available to residents of the 50 United States (and District of Columbia)
and the United Kingdom, the Peggle Art Contest will award more than $10,000
in prizes, including trips for the top submitters to visit PopCap's Seattle
headquarters, spending sprees at Best Buy, limited edition Peggle
merchandise, and iPhones and Xbox 360s with Peggle pre-installed. Entries can
involve any aspect of the game's artistic elements, from background scenes to
drawn or written descriptions of new Peggle Masters and power-ups, to level
designs (peg layouts). Full details of the contest, including entry forms and
rules, can be found at http://www.popcap.com/promos/peggleart. Entries can be
submitted electronically or by mail.

"We get a lot of fan mail from Peggle devotees, including lots of
suggestions for background art, new Peggle characters and power-ups, and
level designs, and thought an art contest would be a fun way to foster and
tap into that creativity and enthusiasm for the game," said Sukhbir Sidhu,
co-creator of Peggle and studio director at PopCap. "We're excited to see
what the rabid Peggle community comes up with in the way of ideas!"

Digital contest submissions must be no larger than 5 megabytes in size
and analog submissions must arrive on a sheet of paper or other material no
larger than 8.5 inches by 11 inches and be no thicker than 4 inches. Nearly
any type of ink or paint can be used, from finger-paints or colored pencils
to ballpoint pens and magic markers. Judging will be conducted by members of
PopCap's art department and development studio, who will weigh creativity and
feasibility of submissions along with artistic talent. No copyrighted or
trademarked imagery - other than visual elements found in the Peggle games
themselves - will be accepted. A sampling of submissions from each week of
the contest may be posted to the contest microsite and prizes will be awarded
to the top two dozen entries (twelve per age group). Both "adult" (age 18 and
over) and "youth" (13 to 17) categories are available, with twelve winners
being named from each age group.
