Konami is on the hunt for the nation’s foremost Pro Evolution Soccer fan to appear in PES 2010’s marketing campaign. Is that you?

You’ll need to be pretty hardcore. Actually, make that hardcore and super-speedy, since the newly announced competition closes on July 15th. Fortunately, entry is simple – just create a photo or 30 second video clip of yourself that should leave the judges in no doubt of your utter dedication to all things PES.

This could be you surrounded by every iteration of the game, the injuries you’ve amassed as a result of celebrating your victories a little too ostentatiously, pics of your three children – Pro, Evo and Soccer, and so on. The more imaginative the better.

So, what do you get for all that effort and possible humiliation? A starring role in PES 2010’s TV and print advertising for a kick-off. And that means you’ll get to feature alongside the game’s cover stars, Lionel Messi and Fernando Torres. Hopefully that’ll entail actually meeting them too, rather than being Photoshopped into the ads to make it look like you did. After that, well, maybe Konami will chuck a few PES goodies into the mix. We dunno.

Anyway, casting for the PES Star is on right now at http://www.konami-pes2010.com/. Off you trot.
