According to a GI.biz report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe launched a competition today in which development studios are invited to send over prototypes for a chance to receive 10,000 GBP. A hand-picked total of five pitched ideas will be accepted and each studio will be allowed to use the money to further development efforts on their prototype over the first three months of 2009. Selected titles will then be shown to SCEE for possible inclusion on the PlayStation Network.
