I'll try to update my vid for this contest, I'm interested in participating

by the way if there are words like "Fuck" or "Bitch" in my vid, is that mean that the vid will be disqualified

As long as the language is not excessive (Every 2-3 words wouldn't be acceptable) then there is no problem with a few swears .
