Of more than 66,000 pieces of Tony Hawk's American Sk8Land fan-created artwork submitted via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Activision showed off the 50 winning pieces of art selected to appear in the upcoming Nintendo DS game Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam.

The winning logo and skateboard deck art will be included as design options in Downhill Jam along with artwork from the game's developer, Vicarious Visions.

"We're very impressed with number of entries we received and the details fans put into these designs," said David Nathanielsz, executive producer, Vicarious Visions. "In Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam we are including a vastly improved art editor and expect to see even more impressive artwork created by our amazing community, which continues to grow month after month."

Downhill Jam boasts an art editor with the ability to create art which can customize the look of the player. Gamers can take generous liberties with the design of their skater's clothing and share outfits with others via the DS' Wi-Fi connection. The game will also feature voice chat and local wireless and online multiplayer for up to four skaters.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for the DS is due out on October 24. The Wii version is due out with the system's launch on November 19.
