Scion fosters creativity with three unique website initiatives
Scion has partnered with a duo of interactive virtual hubs to offer two unique design challenges meant to appeal to participants’ artistic side. Contests on next-generation social networking site MOLI.com and social web games site Kongregate ask entrants to get creative and turn in their best work.
Scion and MOLI.com join forces to present the MOLI/Inked Magazine Tattoo Design Contest, where competitors submit artwork on the Inked/MOLI community page and the Inked community votes to settle on the best design. The winner of the challenge receives a trip for two to Los Angeles or Miami to get "Inked" by VIP tattoo artist Chris Garver. Additionally, the top five most voted-on designs will be offered as MOLI wallpaper and available for feature on MOLI profiles.
Kongregate’s recent launch of Kongregate Labs, a dedicated community within the Kongregate site devoted to nurturing the creative talents of aspiring new indie game developers, coincides with the announcement of a significant partnership with Scion. As part of an eight-week promotion, Scion will be the sole sponsor of Kongregate Labs, as well as the Driving Creativity Contest that will recognize and award prizes to winning participants for the best new indie games created. Winners will be determined by rankings from Kongregate players.
With Kongregate Labs, enthusiasts gain free, hands-on access to valuable step-by-step tutorials (dubbed “shootorials”), specialized chat and forums for interacting with their peers, as well as the tools and assets they need to create their own original games for uploading to the Kongregate site. Kongregate will initially roll out several different “shootorials” each week, eight in total during the Scion promotion, including a Scion-branded tool set complete with game art and sound effects as well as a music mixer.
