As you might expect, then, it&#8217;s high time that the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/ford\">Ford<\/a> sponsorship of AI goes into high gear as well.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the Top 12 Idolists teamed up with four of Ford&#8217;s brightest up-and-coming designers to come up with their own unique take on the Blue Oval&#8217;s well-regarded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/fiesta\">Fiesta<\/a> hatchback. Fans of the show (or fans of the car, we suppose) can enter the Ford Music Video Challenge once per week from March 17 through May 21, 2010, for a chance to win one of the vehicles you see here and a trip to the set of a Ford Music Video shoot. The grand prize winner gets a package that includes a Fiesta with their choice of one of the Top 12 designs and tickets to the AI finale.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve gallerized a front-three-quarter shot of each contestant&#8217;s Ford Fiesta design below. You know, each one of them is just so&#8230;. unique&#8230; that we can&#8217;t quite goad ourselves into picking a winner. Therefore, we&#8217;ve just placed them in alphabetical order by the Idolists&#8217; first names. Feel free to rank them yourselves in the Comments.
