No, this contest doesn’t require you to take a real picture. The folks over at Evolution Studios have decided to hold a contest using Motorstorm: Pacific Rift‘s in-game Photo mode. To shoot yourself this time around, simply follow the directions below:

To submit a photo:

1. Pause the game and take a photo using Photo Mode.

2. Export the photo from your Gallery (in your Garage) to your XMB.

3. Transfer the photo from your XMB to your PC (and email it or host it on a website and post it in the competition thread). …

To make your mark in your favorite game and to take your place in MotorStorm history, either post up to three of your best pictures into the competition thread on the VIP.MotorStorm.com forums or email them to [email protected], with “MotorStorm Photo” in the subject field. Please ensure that each photo is named after your PSN Online ID (such as “MusterBuster_01.jpg”). Also please indicate that you are submitting from North America as we will be selecting 20 winners from Europe and 20 from North America.

So yes, North Americans as well as Europeans can all enter this contest. The 20 best shots will be considered to be included in future game updates as loading screens, with the user’s PSN ID shown as well. Those 20 people will also win a Motorstorm t-shirt! Best of luck, and get those thumbs ready on the Start button!
