Subject: The New Arizona Prize: student teams eligible for $100,000 prize

Students encouraged to compete
for The New Arizona Prize


The New Arizona Prize is for people with big ideas who want to make a difference, and this year's challenge is for people who want to see their fellow community members learn and care more about Arizona's water future. Maybe that means people like you.

The New Arizona Prize: Water Consciousness Challenge focuses on raising awareness of water scarcity issues in the Valley of the Sun and across Arizona. Teams register with their proposal for a digital media strategy that will educate and engage the public, and the team with the winning proposal will receive $100,000 to implement its strategy. Winning strategies will not only inform, but also inspire action.

There is still more than a month for individuals and teams to register, with final applications due Jan. 16, 2015. You can visit the Prize website<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001uAn7vWJzs3GKODsmVQdwlEvKPcOJ09irYSlJuftWi5EK2ZthBNffO2DOu2GclEWYQLkUqfxgunNfEQJFhhV4CFS6IbfRaTO5o-40jlQXeiJ02D8GRRFOqfjFqYqDYPS5472rrL6eXBFGoKxrTHGJtYDxXCecQgZcEjtihbndjxA7u82zwPb9oA==&c=fBFiQQMDf2mL0_dQLdajJY--qrEqDvK6gFUe5XevVV49DCV5GlNeEw==&ch=6FVQUb30EPQrJo6Zf2b0s_ylWraMzHH3M_SZnIUwfM35pzYHORLIiw==> for details on the application, the scoring process and the judges.

Our hope is to engage students from across disciplines and inspire new thinking to address a complex community issue.
