The Corpus Christi Police Department hosted a contest in October 2012 for Corpus Christi High School students to develop the new advertising campaign to discourage drunk driving. The winners of the contest were announced November 21, 2012 at 10am at the digital billboard located at the 4300 block of South Staples.

The Corpus Christi Police Department accepted 202 entries for two categories. There were 114 entries for the artwork and 87 slogan entries. The best three entries from each of the two categories were awarded prizes which include ipads, itouches, and nanopods. The artwork and slogans will be displayed on billboards throughout Corpus Christi during the month of December.

The purpose of the contest was to solicit a more creative advertising campaign from the newest vehicle drivers to discourage drunk driving. The prizes were awarded by donation from the Citizens in Support of the Corpus Christi Police non-profit organization.
