To celebrate the launch of Wallace & Gromit’s new Chat-O-Matic app for iPhone and iPad, we’re looking for the best Wallace impersonator out there!

Whether you can walk the walk, talk the talk, or have a great Wallace costume – we want to hear from you! The best overall impression will win a Cracking Animation book signed by Nick Park!

Here’s how to enter:

1. Dress yourself appropriately for the part – you could download our free Wallace mask, use the Chat-O-Matic app for authentic Wallace catchphrases, or devise your own costume!

2. Make a short film of your best Wallace impression – don’t be shy now! Judges will score points for humour, originality, effort and overall likeness to Wallace.

3. Once you’re happy with your video, upload it to YouTube for the world to see! Check with your parent or guardian first if you’re under 13 – they’ll need to help you set up an account.

4. Make sure you use the phrase #chatomaticcomp in the title of your video so that we can find it when it comes to judging time!

5. The competition closes at 5pm GMT on February 11th. Good luck!

gromitsbuddyinventor - yes, you can definitely use the Chat O Matic app! It's up to you how you present it - it could be a few lines, it could a little scene - whatever you feel shows off your skills in the best way!

AardonH1994 - don't worry, the competition is free to enter! It's only if you want to use the Chat-O-Matic app that you'll need to pay 69p for it.

If you have any other questions post them below and we'll try to get back to you asap!
