This appears to be the animation in the winning creation’s creature’s brain..?
MTV’s Multiplayer blog did a time-lapse of Team Awesome building their level. Team Awesome co-won “Most Innovative”; the lighting, the crazy platforms, the high jumps.. can’t wait to die a hundred times on it.
On the official PlayStation blog, they have a nice interview with Kenny and Kareem.
VentureBeat talked to Kareem as well.
Destructoid gives us a short look at each of the finalists.
Reuters even put up an article about LittleBigPlanet mentioning the contest.
But GameSpot really delivers with a bunch of playthrough videos. Team Rocket did not disappoint me.

Is it possible to find these creations in the beta itself? Unless I am missing something, it seems as though the only search criteria you can enter are the tags, and not creators or level titles.
Also, I am interested to know of a good list of user-creations for which I should search. Just because someone tagged a “level” as “ingenious” doesn’t necessarily make it so, as I have found. ^___^
Anyway, awesome write-up and excellent links!

when you’re choosing which tag you want to search, press square.
