Create a Character for ‘The Simpsons’

It’s hard to believe “The Simpsons” has been running on Fox for 20 years, but it has. To celebrate, the show is asking you to create a character that will appear on an episode scheduled to run in 2010.

All you need to do is come up with a name, a catchphrase and a brief description and you could be headed to Los Angeles to meet with a “Simpsons” artist and see your character come to life. The chosen character will appear in an episode scheduled for Jan. 31, 2010. If you think you have what it takes to create a memorable character, click here.
