We suspect you guys are in need of a little inspiration for the Pioneer “Hands Off” Month contest.

In case you’ve been living on the moon the last week, we are giving away Pioneer head units to the top three users this month who submit a fake Pioneer Commercial! This month’s theme is Bluetooth, so there’s the rules… Make a 20-second-ish long TV spot using some assets that John wrote about last week, and you’re all set!

Here’s some inspiration:

Here’s the submission form for the Pioneer contest entries. Be sure to put a “Pioneer” tag on your video also, or we may not find it!

If you are reading this, you are most likely wondering, “How do I enter this contest?” Well, here’s how:

1) Create your own 15- to 30-second commercial centered around Bluetooth technology and upload it here

2) Integrate the new Pioneer AVIC-F series multimedia navigation headunits - details and photos of the new AVIC-F series can be found here

Or you can integrate any Pioneer / Premier product with integrated Bluetooth technology (they have “BT” in the model name) - details and photos of these units can be found here

3) Integrate the Pioneer corporate logo into the commercial - logo can be found here

We will have an example of our very own “user-generated” quality commercial later today. And please don’t forget to indicate your video as an entry into the contest when uploading.

Prizes for the “Hands Off” month Pioneer promotion are:

- Grand Prize: Pioneer AVIC-F900BT
- Second Prize: Pioneer AVIC-F700BT
- Third Prize: Pioneer AVIC-F500BT
- Honorable Mention: Pioneer DEH-P700BT

A great combination of creativity, substance and Pioneer product / brand integration are what we’re looking for. So let your inner film maker take hold! Good luck!

In an effort to promote the fact that playing Gran Turismo 5, actually is good training for race car drivers, Sony and Nissan have partnered up for the upcoming “GT Academy.” The GT Academy is a drivers training school that will be available to the winners of a GT5: Prologue tournament on the PLAYSTATION Network. Starting at the end of May, entrants will face off in a series of races to determine who are the two most competitive entrans. The winners will recieve 4 months of real world racing school instruction and a racing seat with the Nissan team in the 24 Hours of Dubai later this year!

Happy Racing!
