We have a special guest star in this weekâs âShop contest. None other than Sexy Mario has agreed to pose for you. Thatâs-a it, Mario, work it, baby! OK, give me more pouty âŠ
Fresh off his latest shoot on the tennis court, Sexy Mario gave us permission to use one of his shots as the exploitable in this weekâs Photoshop contest. If you want to see more of this brilliant Facebook personality, head on over to his page and give it a like. His 500th fan will be in for a very sexy surprise, and Iâm sure you want to be the one who gets it.

Reminder: Thereâs a new forum for âShop Contest submissions that will display them in the chronological order familiar to the contest under our old comments format. Iâve gone ahead and set up the forum with one of our patented Kotaku block arrows showing you where this weekâs submissions begin. When I judge the entries for the roundup Iâll close it out with another arrow later in the week.
Because of this, comments are disabled in this post to avoid confusion. You must visit the âShop Contest Forum to participate After you create your âShop, youâll need to post it there. Here are the rest of the guidelines for doing so.
1. Go to the âShop Contest Forum
2. Click âAdd Imageâ in the upper right above the comment window.
3. Click âUpload an Image Instead.â Then click the âChoose Fileâ button. Browse your desktop, find the image, and click âopen.â
4. If you prefer, you can upload the âShop to a free image hosting service. I suggest imgur. Then click âAdd imageâ in the upper right above the comment window. Paste the image URL into the field that says âImage URL.â
5. You can add editorial commentary if you want, but then just hit submit and your image will load. If it doesnât, paste the image URL as a comment.
6. This is important: Keep your image size under 1 MB. Further, try to keep its longest dimension (horizontal or vertical) under 1000 pixels.
All set? Great. Now, Gentlemen, start your âshopping!
