      Your
      generation
      is
      showing
      more
      responsibility
      than
      any
      cit
      that’s
      gone
      before
      you
     
     
      and
      that’s
      a
      fact.
      So
      now
      it’s
      time
      for
      you
      to
      stand
      up
      and
      play
      an
      active
      role
      in
      our
      efforts
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
     
       
     
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      to
      get
      the
      message
      across
      about
      responsible
      t
      use
      of
      alcohol.
     
     
      Because
      some
      people
      still
      don’t
      “get
      it”.
     
     
      What
      would
      you
      say
      to
      them
     
     
      if
      you
      could
      put
      your
      message
      on
      national
      TV?
     
     
      Or
      in
      newspapers?
      Or
      radio?
      Speak
      out.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Submit
      your
      message
      to
      us
      and
      it
      could
      be
      part
      of
      a
      national
      campaign
     
    
   
   
    
     
      to
      get
      the
      word
      out
      on
      responsible
      use
      of
      alcohol.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      you
      could
      be
      part
      of
      that
      campaign,
      too.
      Because
      if
      our
      panel
      selects
      your
      message,
     
     
      you'll
      be
      heard.
      And
      you'll
      be
      participating
      in
      the
      production
      of
      the
      campaign.
     
     
      You'll
      also
      find
      it
      very
      rewarding
      because
      there
      is
      a
      total
      of
      $100,000
     
    
   
   
    
     
      in
      cash
      rewards
      for
      chosen
      submissions.
      And
      the
      top
      submission
     
    
   
   
    
     
      could
      earn
      up
      to
      $15,000.
      And
      every
      submission
      will
      receive
      a
      free

      It's
      time
