BFNT contest finalists up for vote

July 7, 2008

The top 10 finalists have been chosen in Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC's (BFNT) 2008 Safety Scholars video contest.

The contest is a national competition in which 16- to 21-year old drivers create short, auto safety-themed videos.

"A panel of judges selected the top 10 videos based on how well they compel viewers to be more safety-conscious," say BFNT officials.

The videos, which are less than one minute in length, are now posted at www.safetyscholars.com for on-line voting through July 25.

"The grand prize winners will each be given the opportunity to have the winning video broadcast as a public service commercial by BFNT."
