Bungie is giving away four Halo 3 Special Edition Zunes! The Halo 3 Zune comes pre-loaded with music, artwork, trailers, and videos from Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3. It also features custom Halo graphics and customized packaging, as well as an exclusive episode of Red vs. Blue. You can hardly take all the sweetness, I know.

Linky to Contest!

To participate in the contest you have to enter into one of the four categories before Sunday, June 10th. You can only enter once and only in one category.

Here are the categories:

1. Halo Song Parody - Using Halo as your theme, create a song parody based on any existing song you like. Entries will be judged on creativity, humor and execution.
2. Original Halo Song - Create your own original song inspired by Halo! The sky is the limit in terms of instruments and musical genre. Entries will be judged on lyrics (if they exist), delivery and execution.
3. Halo 3 Beta Montage Video - Using the Halo 3 Beta, create the ultimate montage video! Mix one part creativity, one part awesome game footage, one part audio and a dash of editing skills and make a video that will wow and amaze the Halo community. Entries will be judged on concept, originality, entertainment value and execution.
4. Halo Original Machinima Video - Using the Halo 3 Beta or Halo 2 or Halo 1 for that matter, create your own Machinima style production. Entries will be judged on originality, creativity, entertainment value and execution.

This is how the submissions will be judged:  once the submission deadline has passed, all valid entries will be made available for peer review at halo.bungie.org. The Halo Community will rate their favorites and narrow down the field to the top 7 in each category. Then, the HBO staff and Bungie Studios team will review and cast their votes to determine the top winner in each category.

So, I’m working on an entry at the moment and I’m going to bug you guys to vote for me when the time comes...it’s a good one, you’ll want to vote for me anyway. I’ll post it in the forum thread connected to this blog after the 10th of June. If anyone else makes an entry for the contest let us know so we can check it out and vote for you.

Love,

Calyber
