Have you ever had the urge to create your own cartoon character? How about in 3D, or better yet, turn that character into a 3D printed figurine? Well if so, then this is your lucky day. Shapeways has recently announced their '3D Animation to 3D Print Contest'. The contest will reward several winners prizes of up to $200 in Shapeways credits for the most creative, and 3D printable figurine designs. Even those who don't win, will win, as everyone who participates will receive a $10 Shapeways credit. More details on the rules of this contest can be found here: http://3dprint.com/15196/shapeways-animation-contest/

If you do decide to enter, please feel free to post your designs here as well!
