M&M’s + Forza Motorsport 5 Gaming With M Pixel Art Contest + $10 Walmart eGift Card #FueledbyMM #Shop

As the holidays approach, I’m getting down to the wire with Christmas shopping, and my son LOVES video games! I can’t wait to see his face when he opens this Forza 5 game for Xbox One! The Xbox One came out right at Black Friday, and this is one of the games we purchased for the new system. He’s going to freak!  With his video game under the tree, I’ve also snatched up some M&M’s to put in his stocking!

However, we have a super crafty way that you could possibly score you own Xbox One!!! M&M’s® and Xbox are teaming up with the Gaming Is Better With M Pixel Art Contest where you can win an Xbox One, Forza 5, and M&M’s ($600 Value)! Plus earn a $10 egift card from Walmart when you purchase the Forza Motorsport 5 game and M&M’s products at Walmart through Buy, Snap, and Redeem when you purchase Forza 5 for Xbox One and at least $8 worth of *M&M’s (See qualifying M&M products at te bottom of the post!). You Must submit only one receipt, so get your M&M’s first, then head back to electronics!!

To enter the Gaming With M Pixel Art Contest, create a piece of pixel art using M&M’s^®, take a photograph of that pixel art, upload that image to Instagram and Twitter, caption that image with the hashtags #FueledByMM AND #Contest (an “Entry”). Check out our awesome creation below!! There are so many neat entries that I had fun just looking through what everyone else had created!  This is your chance to be creative, so get your video game thinking caps on and start your own! I saw ones for Pac Man, the Pac Man Ghosts, Minecraft, Forza 5 cars, Despicable Me, and more! One tip, my son is 8, and decided to make Creeper from Minecraft! However, we had purchases Peanut M&M’s, which are slightly harder to make a design with because they like to roll all over the place! I recommend buying at least one bag of plain M&M’s!

DATES:  Contest runs from December 4^th to the 18^th, 2013.

Anyways, onto the fun part of the contest, eating the M&M’s you bought to create your project!!!!
