This is her first win. ...

Week 25 Entries

There were several excellent entries for week 25. It appears that delivering meals is a risky business in California – there were actually two entries on that subject. For absurdity and humor, however, it’s hard to beat Week 25’s winning entry from Gary Narberes. It appears that his Wal-Mart has lined its aisles with Proposition...

The entries for Week #12 of our Proposition 65 Contest were all superb. Layouts were terrific. Judging was a challenge.

The winner of this week’s #Prop65Contest is Contessa Mendoza (curvy_doll13) for her photograph of the absolutely absurd warning that California requires sunglass makers to place on their  products.
