Anime Tour for The Cure, a joint effort between Anime FF & Anime Vegas to provide a non profit Anime Convention to help raise money for a Breast Cancer Foundation, is giving away some next-gen consoles at their event early next year.

To help stoke the anime competition, the Tour for the Cure is giving away two Playstation 3s and six Wiis.

But if you want to enter you better get on it, you only have until Dec. 20 to submit your fan art to the site.

From now until December 20th, submit your fan art entry to theOtaku.com's fan art site (you have to register first to do this) with the tag "awareness" and include *something* in the piece related to breast cancer awareness. We're keeping the latter requirement loose; you can use the color pink prolifically, you can feature the breast cancer awareness ribbon, or you can go all-out on the subject. Characters depicted must be original creations, nothing from licensed anime (e.g. Naruto, DragonBall, etc.). Be creative!

After December 20th, we will select all or a portion of the submissions and prepare them for exhibition at AnimeFF. On site, attendees will vote on their favorite works. There will be EIGHT winners, based on votes. You do not have to attend the convention to enter this contest, only to vote.

Sadly, this contest is only open to people based in the United States, due to technical/legal issues.

First and second place win a PS3, third through Eighth land a Wii each and the prizes are already in their hot little hands.

While you don't need to attend the event to enter, keep in mind that 100 percent of ticket sales go toward breast cancer research. Brian Crecente
