HP, Cartoon Network launch 'Toon Creator' Awards

HP and Cartoon Network have launched all new 'Toon Creator' awards for 2010 to help kids in Asia express their creativity.

Toon Creator Awards have already kicked off on July 1, and invite kids aged 6-14 from Australia, India, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Pakistan to showcase their creativity through cutting-edge technology.

"We are delighted to offer children in Asia a new and improved Toon Creator Awards for 2010 in collaboration with Cartoon Network," said Dennis Mark, Vice President and General Manager ' Marketing, Personal Systems Group for HP Asia Pacific and Japan.

Benjamin Grubbs, Regional Director of Turner Entertainment Interactive Media said, "The response to our inaugural Toon Creator Awards in 2009 was phenomenal as nearly 26,000 kids across the region embraced the opportunity to step into the shoes of a Cartoon Network animator and submit over 227,000 animation entries. This year we have worked closely with HP to develop a completely fresh and innovative Toon Creator experience, which is sure to spark even more creativity amongst kids."

Kids can also flex their creative muscle by designing their very own endings to cliff-hanger clips starring a variety of Cartoon Network's favourite characters such as Ben Tennyson, Chowder and The Powerpuff Girls. Once completed, animations can be posted onto the Cartoon Network website for everyone to see. Log on to www.ToonCreatorAwards.com
