| Welcome to the 6th edition of MSXart! As for the previous editions, this contest will mainly focus on the creation of new wallpapers that relate to the MSX theme.
What can you win?
Our aim is to work towards the creation of a 2009 MSX print-calendar, similar to the ones that wereproduced in previous years (download MSXart 2007 calendar and MSXart 2008 calendar).
