We had a great time running the last Friday’s Finest Video Contest (FFVC) but weren’t sure we’d be able to do it again.  Mostly because I don’t have $100 to fork over but thanks to keisatsuwatch, who took the runner up prize in last months contest, we’re happy to announce the contest will go on.

Keisatsuwatch has donated his $50 winnings as well as this camera from his place of employment.  According to the website:

Whether you’re an aspiring secret agent or just need to document certain conversations, the Button Video Camera just might be the most concealable video camera out there. The pinhole lens and microphone are hidden inside a faux shirt button, and slips through almost any shirt or sweater for an unobstructed view of everything in front of you.

Sounds like a perfect set up for a person with Cop Blocking intentions.  A special thank you goes out to Keisatsuwatch and the Japan Trend Shop for starting off Cop Block’s FFVC – July.  If you or your organization would like to donate to the contest feel free to contact us at CopBlock[at]gmail[dot]com.

As for the rules of the contest, again we’ll keep it simple.

• Don’t publish the video on line until you’ve contacted us.
• Content must be taken by you and recent (no previously shot footage)
• Video can consist of any police actions.  See our YouTube Channel for suggestions
• Deadline is July 26th, 2010

Be creative and if you have any questions feel free to contact us.  Last month we got 5 submissions, this month I’d like to see 10, so tell your friends.
