Texans have until June 28 to submit their video in search for the next Don’t Mess with Texas commercial. The winning video will air during prime-time television.
The idea behind Car2Can, a first-ever video contest by Don’t Mess with Texas, is creatively showing how to get trash from cars to trashcans instead of the side of Texas roadways.
● The grand-prize winner’s video will air during prime-time television this summer, and the winner will also receive a $500 Wal-Mart gift card.
● The second-place winner will receive a Gibson Epiphone Les Paul II guitar branded by Sweet Leaf Tea.
● The third-place winner will receive a prize package from Sweet Leaf Tea.
Texans 18 or older can submit a video (shorter than two minutes) until June 28. Top videos will be posted online, where anyone in the state has the opportunity to vote for their favorite from July 1- July 12. The three winners, to be announced in early August, will be based on a combination of the input of expert judges and Texans’ votes.
Full contest details and rules are available here.

How about a video in which someone throws an empty coke can onto a yard, and then the owner screams "CASTLE LAW!" and releases dogs with bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees.
