AliceInChains.com is currently hosting two contests: the Fantasy Football Trivia contest and the Name Them Tunes!! contest.
On September 6, the NFL is kicking off another season of pigskin action and we here at AliceInChains.com have decided to join in on the fun by organizing a Fantasy Football League. This league will see eight lucky fans pit their football knowledge (and luck) against the expertise of Jerry, Mike and a new character in town; known only as 'The Commish'. All Fantasy Football League players will receive limited-edition Alice in Chains jerseys and the member with the most points will win an autographed guitar. That lucky person and two runner-ups will also receive a football autographed by the band members.
Congratulations to the following AliceInChains.com members who correctly answered our trivia challenge questions:

Star In Your Own Alice Video
In February 2007, we ran a contest where fans were encouraged to create and submit their own 30-second version of an Alice in Chains music video. The top five videos were posted online and then the members of AliceInChains.com voted for the winner and the runner-up. You can check out those five videos below.
This contest also had a photo version. To check out the top five photos, please head over to the Discussion Board.
