The first DDR music video contest? Really?
I’m almost positive there has been some kind of DDR music video competition before, but Konami has just announced the first Dance Dance Revolution Music and Motion Video contest. It ties into the release of DDR Hottest Party 3, and being on the Wii of course it focuses on fitness. To enter, work out a calorie-smashing DDR routine and submit it to Konami. Grand Prize is a year membership to Bally Total Fitness, a Wii and a copy of the game.

Since it was first introduced to North American video game consoles in 2001, DanceDanceRevolution has become known worldwide for its effectiveness as a fitness and weight loss tool. Each version of the game comes with a user-friendly "Workout Mode" that allows players to easily manage their personal information and watch the calories melt away on a calorie counter located on screen.
The DanceDanceRevolution Music & Motion Contest is just one of the fitness initiatives surrounding the best-selling get-up-and-move video game in the month of May. Konami has also partnered with high-profile sponsors including West Virginia Children Health Insurance Program, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. for the 2010 DanceDanceRevolution West Virginia State Championship Tournament.
