AionSource.com Grand Contest: Advertise Aion!

It's been a while since we've had one of these. Here's how it works: I ask for the community to do something. Whoever does it best in each category (in my humble, almighty opinion) has a chance to win. It's that simple.

There are six categories you can enter in, with one grand prize, one first prize, and four second prizes:

Fanart, fanvideo, fanvoice, fanfiction, fanlife, and lamefan.

Fanart: make a billboard advertisement or internet banner ad (728x90) for Aion and/or AionSource.com. Bonus points if it's easily alterable for multiple billboard or banner sizes. Preferably submit it in .psd form, but other editable forms are acceptable. Tag with "Fanart: [Username]" when submitting. Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course.

Fanvideo: make a video advertisement or commercial for Aion and/or AionSource.com. Bonus points if it's actually funny or extremely professional looking and only 30 seconds long. Preferably submit the highest quality (bitrate and resolution) available. Tag with "Fanvideo: [Username]" when submitting. Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course.

Fanvoice: make a radio advertisement or short podcast segment advertising Aion and/or AionSource.com. Bonus points if it's actually funny or extremely professional sounding and only 30 seconds long. Preferably submit it in a lossless format (such as FLAC) or the highest quality lossy format available. Tag with "Fanvoice: [Username]" when submitting. Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course.

EDIT: Songs are also acceptable submissions to the "Fanvoice" category, but consider making a "Fanvideo" entry with your song instead. It might do better in that category, but not necessarily.

Fanfiction: make an internet text advertisement for Aion and/or AionSource.com. Bonus points if you can catch someone's attention or explain why Aion and/or AionSource.com is awesome in two lines of 35 characters each, for a total of 70 characters. Tag with "Fanfiction: [Username]" when submitting. Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course.

Fanlife: do something awesome in real life with a direct and obvious relation to Aion and/or AionSource.com, like hang gliding while trailing a banner with the words "AionSource.com Rocks!" over some landmark. Bonus points if you get mentioned in any kind of local press, like newspapers. Tag with "Fanlife: [Username]" when submitting. Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course. Include some kind of proof, preferably photos.

Lamefan: email lamefan@aionsource.com with the subject "[Username] is a pathetic noob and fails hard." Substitute "[Username]" for your username, of course. Please spell everything correctly. You're automatically entered to win a second prize.
