Visit the contest page for complete details and to see the entries and amazing M & M artwork that has already been entered into the contest.

We had a lot of fun creating the Pixel Art below last week and it was really a lot of fun to do as a family. We started with the Smurf, which you can tell was our first because he is kind of drunk looking, but by the time we got to Hello Kitty we were starting to get the hang of it. If you have a free night this week and would love to do something the whole family will enjoy, I suggest grabbing a few bags of M&M's and getting to work! I guarantee you will have a blast!

I've entered the contest with my three 8-bit sprites and you can too. There is still plenty of time to get your art on and make the coolest looking pixel art you can come up with. I must warn you, there are some really cool ones out there, so you have a bit of competition. But this is such a fun contest, that you are sure to have an amazing time just planning your art and eating M&M's while you are making your sprite. Hope to see your #FueledByMM entry on IG soon!
