Nice energy buddy and a nice simply catchy hook.

Still no end date for the competition but I think in a couple months (April 2013). Because this is the first competition that we've done like this we needed to wait to see how many people enter before knowing how long we should run it for. I'll post an end date on this page when we have one.
