In 2009, we ran a series of awards to highlight the best of the best amongst the LittleBigPlanet community. These awards were dubbed The Sackies, and recognised Players, Creators and Sharers alike. Over two years later, I’m proud to announce that The Sackies have returned.

A key part of The Sackies is highlighting different elements of creativity within the community, and so we have identified some key categories for levels to fall into, categories such as best use of story, best multiplayer, and best use of sound.

With nearly six million levels to pick through, we’ve decided to hand over the reins to you, the community,  to pick the levels and Creators who should win some of these prestigious awards. If you head to our community portal LBP.me and sign in, you can nominate 100 levels for each of the categories. The option to Nominate can be found on every level and creator page.

After a few weeks we will identify the top levels in each category, and everyone will get one vote to decide the overall winners!

Previous winners of The Sackies have gone on to find fame and fortune, and some even jobs within the industry. For the rest of us, we found great levels to play and inspire us; who’s to say what we might find this time?

Get nominating people!

Earlier in the year we installed a PS Eye Camera into our fridge at Media Molecule… Not, as some of you may think, as a solution to prevent lunch thieves, no, we just thought that our lives would be incomplete without a camera that took photos each time the fridge was opened and then uploaded them onto the intranet for all to see. It didn’t serve any useful purpose other than to provide us with amusement.

The first thing we noticed about having a Fridge Cam, was that people pull stupid faces when they go to get a snack and don’t know quite what they want. We believe that these faces would be pulled regardless of the presence of the camera.
