I. Introduction
Ken-Tool is launching a monthly video contest on its Web site, www.kentoolvideocontest.com, which encourages participants to submit a video of a Ken-Tool product in use. The guidelines and rules will change monthly according to a theme, and participants should fully read the updated Rules and Regulations prior to submitting a video.
