HP and Cartoon Network has just launched an uber awesome online animation contest for budding animators aged between 6-14.
The contest, called Toon Creator Awards, will be held between July 13 and September 30. In the nutshell, kids and their families need to visit www.ToonCreatorAwards.com and create their own 25-second ending after viewing a five-second mini-cliffhanger using either Ben 10: Alien Force or Chowder characters.
