Argos, the catalogue shop chain that sells the most toys in Great Britain, has opened a toy design competition.
Children between 5 and 15 years of age may take part by uploading a picture and a description to the Toy of the Future website.
The winning entry will go into production and will be sold by Argos in time for Christmas 2009. The winner will receive Argos vouchers worth £500, while 10 runners-up win a toy of their choice up to the value of £50 from the catalogue.
Entries must be submitted by 1st December, when it'll be down to a panel of judges to pick a shortlist of 10 toys to be announced on 10th December. The public will be able to vote for their favourite from the shortlist until Christmas Eve, with the Toy of the Future being revealed in January.
Argos have hinted that the winning toy needs to appeal to girls and boys between the ages of 6 and 10 years. Also, the winner entry should cost under £20; so don't forget to take the fluctuating price of oil into consideration.
