The goal is to raise flood awareness and reduce flood fatalities in and around Austin. Driving through flooded roads is the leading cause of deaths during a flash flood. It not only puts the driver's life at risk, but also the lives of passengers and emergency responders.

The contest is sponsored by the Austin American Statesman's Inside Line, the Texas Floodplain Management Association, the City of Austin and the National Weather Service.
