Since 2007, the Bridgestone Safety Scholars Contest has been providing an arena (and serious incentives) for young filmmakers to raise awareness of car safety. The short films are for teens and by teens—statistically the worst drivers.

DVL created SafetyScholars.com, a site where films are uploaded and then judged by the public. The top ten finalists receive a free set of Bridgestone or Firestone tires, and the top three grand-prize winners receive a $5,000 college scholarship.

This year, the Safety Scholars spokesman, Martin Scoresafety, shares his filmmaking talent with entrants by sharing tips on making better movies. The 2010 Safety Scholars Contest launched at the Chicago Auto Show in February.
