Sega’s double dose of Bayonetta contests
SEGA of America has launched “Bayonetta Re-Envisioned,” a user-generated art contest at WizardUniverse.com centered on the heroine of SEGA’s upcoming Bayonetta video game. After a month and more than 100 submissions, Wizard and SEGA selected their favorite entries which are now posted at wizarduniverse.com for fans to vote on. While the final decision will be determined by PlatinumGames, the developers of the game, the votes will be used to assist the judges in determining the Grand Prize winner, as well as the top 10 runners-up, who will each be awarded with an autographed copy of the game. The winners will be announced in October, 2009.
Sega also announced that Men’s lifestyle magazine and many people’s favorite form of softcore porn, Maxim, is also hosting a contest. The point of the contest is to find a real life version of the game’s star on Maxim.com, the digital counterpart to Maxim. SEGA is looking for the one girl who best captures the style and attitude of the heroine of PlatinumGames’ upcoming action game. The winning contestant will be spotlighted on Maxim.com and receive a Xbox 360, a 50 inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 HDTV Plasma TV and a copy of Bayonetta for the Xbox 360.

Bayonetta is slated for release in January 2010 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
