As you may have noticed or heard, hit TV show American Idol is back in business, and as usual main sponsor Ford is quick to participate. The 12 finalists picked so far have worked with Ford to customize an unique Ford Fiesta for each of them.

But they did not do so by themselves, each American Idol to-be young talent teamed up with four of Ford’s brightest young (more or less) talent designers to come up with their own unique take on the Blue Oval’s well-regarded Fiesta hatchback.

So what’s up with these colored cars after their done? Well, fans of the show  can participate 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.

Take a look at the photos of all 12 American Idol Ford Fiestas, and read the press release if you’re interested in more details about the Ford Music Video Challenge and what not.
