CALIFORNIA — Residents of the Golden State have until 11:59 p.m. tonight, Thursday, Aug. 29, to enter a statewide contest for a chance to win a $500 cash gift card.

To enter, participants must share how they are traffic safety champions and commit to safe road behaviors. The contest is open to legal U.S. residents of the state of California who are 14 or older. Participants under 18 must have a parent/guardian sign the registration form.

The California Office of Traffic Safety, California Department of Transportation and iHeartMedia teamed up to hold the contest, with all prizes provided courtesy of iHeartMedia.

"Twelve people are killed on California roads every day," the agencies said in a statement about the contest. "The roads are shared by drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, electric scooters, and other mobility assistance devices such as wheelchairs. When we’re on the road, every action we take gets us to a safer place. Safe roads depend on all of us. The objective is to encourage others to Visit the Go Safely California website for more details and to enter today! Share how they watch out for one another as we start a movement for safer roads together."
