Help design treasure for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and win your own loot

Sony is challenging gamers to create the ultimate loot as part of the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Treasure Design Contest. Select fans will see their ideas manifested as in-game objects.

Participants can either hand-draw their designs or use a graphic design program. All entries should include a description of the treasure and its importance.

Two first place winners will receive a 3G PlayStation Vita, a 32GB memory card, $100 in PlayStation Store credit, and a PS3 decorated with a custom Sly Cooper design. Five runner-ups will win a 3G PS Vita system, 16GB memory card, and a $40 PlayStation Store voucher.

The competition runs until May 20. More details can be found at the PlayStation Blog.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is scheduled for release later this year.
