When the New Xbox Experience was released unto the gaming world on November 19th, after watching a short animation of the weird exploding penis thing it politely coerced you into creating a Mii-esque avatar. Unless you popped in a disc to cleverly circumvent your way around it, there is now a virtual you lounging lazily around your dashboard, perhaps even burping various tunes if you are especially talented. While many of you designed something meant to resemble yourself, I thought it would be fun to travel to the opposite end of the spectrum so it’s now officially time for The Fugliest NXE Avatar Contest. The winner will be the proud new owner of a pair of their choice of red or blue Rock Band Illuminated Drum Sticks so hit the jump for prize and contest specifics then get to creating the fugliest avatar ever!
Contest Specifics
- Submit your entry by sending me your exact gamertag (along with the text, “The Fugliest NXE Avatar Contest”) via the contact form after your submission is officially completed. You must keep your submission as your avatar until the contest closes (Friday, December 5th at 11:59 pm PST). That allows me to grab the image directly from Xbox.com to ensure entries are not altered in any way beyond what the Avatar Creation Tool allows.
- Entries for The Fugliest NXE Avatar Contest will be accepted until Friday, December 5th at 11:59 pm PST. As always with my contests, there are no region restrictions.
- The top entries (as determined by a select group of people) will be posted on Saturday for open voting which will commence over the entirety of the weekend (December 6th-7th).
- The submission that receives the highest number of votes will be the winner.
- One entry per gamertag please.
Prize Specifics
Features
- LED-illumination – strike-activated whole body LED illumination will give your friend a dramatic light show
- Comfort grip – the handle area is designed for comfort and for better grip
- Durable construction – the drum stick has larger diameter than regular drum stick and is made of durable transparent polycarbonate material

Nice contest, I would enter but I wouldn’t want you to go to the hassle of shipping to Aus. ;) Good luck to the other contestants, should be interesting to see the results.

Are you going to have a “best” Avatar contest? Because I’m confident that my son, MacPhisto, can win. And it’s my dream to see him become a winner. Please, think of the children.
