Spore Expo Award

A Dutch celebrity, Micha Klein, has awarded many promising artists during the launch of EA's newest game Spore.

During the launch of the newest game Spore from Electronic Arts, Computer Artist- and Veejay pioneer Micha Klein has handed out the first Spore Expo Award and a cash prize to Roos van der Heiden, with her creation 'The Clash Of The Species'. Roos is one of the young artists of Project 7, each of which has, using art and animations, shaped the new game Spore in their own way. The jury criteria for the Spore Expo Award consisted of using your creativity and fantasy, surprise and connect with the universe of Spore.

You can view the Dutch press release here. If you are truly interested, you can translate it through Google or something. I don't think it's really interesting. It doesn't contain any information we haven't posted before.
