The Simpsons Announce Character Contest
If you've ever had a great idea for a Simpsons character, now is your chance to prove it!
The Simpsons is holding a contest for fans to create their very own original Simpsons character to be featured in an early 2010 episode. The winner gets to head out to El Lay to work with producers and the animation director on the new character.
The contest is part of The Simpsons 20th anniversary celebration and opens for submissions today on The Simpsons website running until October 24.
The proposed character should be "pithy and funny" according to executive producer Al Jean. A description of the character's traits is expected including a catch phrase a la Homer Simpson and his "D'oh!"
The winning character already has it's spot in an episode guest starring Chris Martin from Coldplay.
The contest is all for the fans who helped get The Simpsons where they are today. Says Jean:
"We can't thank them enough. We're now in uncharted waters: We've gone longer than any scripted show in prime-time history. It's a cliche, but it wouldn't be so except for these people who've loved the show all these years."
Maybe we should enter!
Springfield could use a Queen of all Media gossiping about the residents!

Which Celebrities Will Trump Be Pushing To Their Limits This Year?
Hell Yeah We Want To See Ryan Reynolds In Drag!!!
Do It!
first?
omg you should see what they did with hilkoo.com
go for it, Perez! you'd make an awesome addition to the Simpsons fam. :]
Nah… while you in an episode would certainly be interesting, let someone else have their 15 minutes of fame. I don't think it would be right for a celebrity to win. Although the contest is interesting.
You want to be on the Simpsons Perez? They already have Barney, drawing you in would just be redundant.
Ok..
this smell like a Poochie….
Love the post, but the last two lines made me throw up in my mouth.
i agree! get perez on the simpsons nd i might just watch!
Perez as a Simpsons character?
YES, DO IT!!
Just don't nominate Lady GaGa, please.
Maybe you shouldn't I'd rather see a whole episode of Santa's Little Helper chasing his tail than see you ruin what good there is left in the Simpsons.
HAHAHA perez on the simpsons could be so hilarious if it was well written and if he made fun of himself. do it!
I suppose you are asking for the fans help because all your writing from the last several seasons…HAS SUCKED OUT LOUD!!!
Maybe you should hire funny writers again and not harvard graduates that say they can write!
Remember when this was the *plot* of an episode? They're really looking for a Poochy? That idea used to be a joke… like this show is now..
Simpsons is such garbage..they cannot keep up with South Park and Family Guy…it should been off the aire years AGO!
But you're not funny you're annoying…
YES! u should totally do it! ur the typical gossipy american they want.
They already had a gossip website…don't you remember????? Mr. X….remember when Homer created his own gossip website?
Get one of us Brit's on there
