Our population growth here in California is out of control. Today, about 40 million people live in California. By 2050, it's projected to grow by another 20 million.

Population growth at that fast pace affects us all. And our quality of life. With more pollution, traffic, stress on our land, sea, water and other resources every day.

Make people aware!

Win prizes!

But there is something you can do about it. And be rewarded for doing it.

Introducing the CAPA Awards. The California Population Awareness Awards.

Here's your chance to use your ideas, your creativity to make a difference in our way of life here in California.

Think about it. How would you make people aware of this ever-growing unsustainable population problem? You just might win $5,000 with your idea.

No matter what you're studying. No matter what your major, if you're a California student, we want your ideas.

Enter the CAPA Awards today. Deadline is January 31, 2012.

You might help yourself to some very cool prize money when you do!
