<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><small>Aaron Kelly's Ford Fiesta - Click above for high-res image gallery of all Top 12 American Idol Contestant designs</small></strong></em></div>
<br />
In case you hadn't noticed, Fox's hit show <em>American Idol</em> is back in full swing, and this is the first week that the competition has been narrowed down to the top 12 finalists. As you might expect, then, it's high time that the annual <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> sponsorship of AI goes into high gear as well.<br />
<br />
Each of the Top 12 Idolists teamed up with four of Ford's brightest up-and-coming designers to come up with their own unique take on the Blue Oval'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.<br />
<br />
We've gallerized a front-three-quarter shot of each contestant's Ford Fiesta design below. You know, each one of them is just so.... unique... that we can't quite goad ourselves into picking a winner. Therefore, we've just placed them in alphabetical order by the Idolists' first names. Feel free to rank them yourselves in the Comments. Full details on the Ford Music Video Challenge <a href="http://www.americanidol.com/ford/challenge">can be found here</a>, and you can find the official press release after the jump.<br />
