To celebrate the upcoming launch of Drawn to Life®: The Next Chapter, the innovative new videogame releasing on the Wii and Nintendo DS, which actually allows children to create their own world by drawing directly into the game, THQ has launched the 'Your Hero' competition.

This competition encourages children to use this drawing tool ( a replica of the in-game one) to create their own heroes and submit them on www.drawyourhero.com to win prizes including customised consoles, billboards of your design and art supplies for their school.

About the game:
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Wii, players will draw their own heroes using the Wii Remote to find the Artifacts of Power and rid the Raposa village of an evil, shadowy figure that has taken over the land. Throughout the game, players can? draw more than 100 unique items from robust drawing tools, such as vehicles, weapons and tools, to conquer their enemies. The all-new Action Drawing tool allows for objects to be drawn directly into the game to help navigate through several environments, including a sky world, a jungle and a shadow city. In addition, the game's multi-player feature will allow players to draw their team members and equipment to compete against others in a variety of mini-games, such as soccer, hockey and basketball.

In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for Nintendo DS, players will be able to draw their own heroes, be it humans, animals or multi-limbed creatures, and will embark on a brand new adventure aboard a Turtle Ship to defeat the evil Wilfre and restore color to the Raposa civilization.
