who want to see their fellow community members learn and care more about Arizona's water future. Maybe that means people like you.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
There is still more than a month for individuals and teams to register, with final applications due Jan. 16, 2015. You can visit
