Want to have the chance at winning anywhere from $5,000 – $50,000 dollars?  There is a huge contest taking place that where you can use Spore Galactic Adventure to “create engaging game play experiences and incorporate and leverage principles of science, technology, engineering and math for learning.”

Game Changers awards, which range from $5,000-$50,000, are for creative levels designed with either LittleBigPlanet or Spore Galactic Adventures that offer young people engaging game play experiences and that incorporate and leverage principles of science, technology, engineering and math for learning.
