"We are thrilled to be partnering with some of the most imaginative talents in the world at Parsons The New School For Design," said Scott Rohde, vice president of Product Development, Worldwide Studios America. "The LittleBigPlanet Game Jam is the perfect way to showcase the original and innovative aspects of LittleBigPlanet as well as the exceptional design abilities of the students at Parsons."
We'll be reporting from the event and plan on speaking with a few of the students there. The event takes place from September 21st to 22nd.

Another 2 million copies sold for LBP. This game seems like it will break all sales records.

I agree!!! NOW what Sony needs to do is continue to market the shit out of this game!! LBP has the potential to be in instant classic!! I wish I could be there to see what the students come up with!!

i wonder if these students will get their mitts on an early release of this game, like a giveaway bag for participating. and do they get to practice first? what better way to practice than the actual game?! these lucky few are truly envied.

I don't get why they have the wrong dates. I go to Parsons and our email about this game jam says Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st..Honestly 21+22 wouldn't make sense, people have class on Monday the 22nd -_-
As for whether the levels will be available for download. Levels will be combined to create a 'City of Parsons'. Although I'm not sure how many levels will be, I assume they will be picking a few winners and combined them, but those will be included for download.
No idea what the winners get, they didn't go into detail in our emails...just telling us to "JOIN UP"
