The Sims 2 Student Life Contest with USC School of Cinema-Television
We recently conducted The Sims 2 Student Live Movie Contest with USC School of Cinema-Television. The participants were challenged to create a film about a Day in the Life of a Student with The Sims 2 and/or The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack for the possible chance to win $5,000 or a four week position as a Maxis Associate Intern. We received hundreds of submissions, sifted thru them, and a panel of Judges from the USC School of Cinema-Television selected our winners.

Congratulations to Limbo1n, the Grand Prize Winner of The Sims 2 Student Life Contest with USC School of Cinema-Television!
