Now here's a Championship anyone can take part in! The Air GuitarAir guitar is all about the joy of music and feeling like a rockstar. Or maybe not. The organizing body says the following about the meaning of the Air Guitar: 

"The purpose of the Air Guitar World Championships is to promote world peace. According to the ideology of the Air Guitar, wars end, climate change stops and all bad things disappear, if all the people in the world played the Air Guitar. This is why the whole universe is invited to play the Air Guitar for the world peace at the end of the competition."

Playing air guitar is a form of dance and movement in which the performer pretends to play rock or heavy metal-style electric guitar solos. Playing an air guitar usually consists of exaggerated strumming and picking motions and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric guitar music.

In the competition use of props, like an actual guitar or other instruments is strictly forbidden. As are the use of a backup band or other performers. It's just you, the music and your Air Guitar.
