fine print.

first off, have fun. don't take this too serious. what's really important is that you got out there and made something, if you don't win, you still did something and pushed yourself forward.

speaking of pushing yourself, when shooting, the safety of yourself and those around you is the #1 priority. don't do dumb shit, we're not responsible for anything that can go wrong during your shoot. 

by uploading and sending your video in, you authorize us to upload your video to our channel in the event that you win one of the 4 categories. 

WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH KLEAN SOCIETY, KARUMA, OR VISUAL AUTOWERKS AND THEIR PRODUCTS ASIDE FROM THEM PROVIDING WINNERS PRIZES.
