Participants from all over the world competed in skills of playing air guitar. The judging panel included Finnish guitarist Juha Torvinen, and prizes included a custom made 'Flying Finn' guitar and [[Vox (musical equipment)|VOX BM Special amplifier]] donated by [[Queen (band)|Queen]] guitarist [[Brian May]].
