The national competition challenges 16- to 21-year-old drivers to create short videos about automotive safety or making eco-conscious decisions when operating a vehicle. The finalists were selected by a panel of judges from 817 entries received by Bridgestone Americas.
The top 10 videos are now posted at safetyscholars.com for online voting through Aug. 3. Votes will determine the three grand prize winners who will be announced Aug. 10. Finalists’ videos are also available for viewing on social networking sites including Facebook, YouTube and MySpace.
The grand prize winners will receive a $5,000 scholarship and a set of new Bridgestone or Firestone tires, and their winning videos may be used on TV stations nationwide as part of a public service announcement campaign. (Tire Review/Akron)
