 Flag[TM], has announced that they are now accepting submissions for their first Official BS Flag-YouTube contest. The competition encourages all aspiring producers, directors and actors to create and submit an original short film using either the Official BS Flag, or the Official Bullshit Flag, and offers a Grand Prize of $5,000, a Second Prize of $1,000, and a third prize of $500. All entrants will also have an opportunity to be contracted for future BS Flag Industries related creative projects and videos.
