There's Treasure in them... Raccoons?

Sly Cooper, the sneaky raccoon master thief from his eponomyous series, is back this year after a seven year hiatus. Last seen in the 2005 PS2 title Honor Among Thieves, Sly is making his PS3 debit this Autum in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

In the meantime, Sony are offering fans the chance to design a treasure that could end up in the game. One winner from each participating country will receive a PS Vita system, and their designs will go through to a final round. Developers Sanzaru Games will pick eight of the best creations and add them to the upcoming game.

Creations can be hand drawn, or created using any relevant computer program. The designs can be simple or intricate but they must be submitted with a short description of what the treasure is and what it represents.

The competition is open until May 20th 2012 and can be entered here.
