Welcome to the 5th 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 2008 MSX print-calendar, similar to the one that was produced in 2007 (download MSXart 2007 calendar).
This calendar will feature the 12 best artworks and the overall winner will get a free copy shipped to him, courtesy of Passion MSX!
