It's our pleasure to announce the launch of the national "Green Your School" contest, funded by NBC Universal Foundation and in connection with Green is Universal.
If you're a high school student in the U.S., submit your school's best green-related project for a chance to win a $5,000 grand prize.
The contest is awarding prizes for conservation service projects designed by high school students that improve, restore, beautify and/or conserve their school's environment. Project examples include transforming a school parking lot or yard into a community garden, implementing a recycling or compost program in the school cafeteria, using reusable and recyclable products on campus or establishing a system to reduce water and power usage.
A panel of qualified judges, including NBC News' Anne Thompson and environmentalist Simran Sethi, will award a Grand Prize winner with $5,000 and two First Prize winners with $2,500 each.
The "Green Your School" contest runs from April 1, 2009 until 11:59 p.m. EST on October 9. Entries may be submitted online by visiting www.thesca.org/green-your-school or a registration form may be requested by mail and sent back to SCA headquarters at 689 River Road, P.O. Box 550, Charlestown, New Hampshire 03603. Winning schools will be notified by email, phone or mail by mid-November, 2009.
