Mazda is working with Forza Horizon 2 to promote a Livery Design Contest for its 2016 MX-5 roadster. The contest centers around designing the livery for a 1994 Mazda MX-5 in the game and out of five semifinalists will emerge the top two winning designs who will be awarded a trip to the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas where the winning design team – as determined by a judging panel consisting of judges from Mazda, Microsoft and TC9700 Gaming – will be awarded a 55-inch curved television, audio music system, an Xbox Kinect console and a MadCatz racing wheel [value: $3500] as well as having their winning design becoming a selectable option within the game.
All entries will be accepted in the Forza Horizon 2 game from now through January 4, 2015 and the semifinalist winners will be announced after an online public voting phase ends on February, 12, 2015.
