Eligibility

What can I submit?

You can use video or written content and photos to show, explain and submit any idea you like. But keep in mind only ideas with a direct tie to energy conservation stand a chance of taking home top prize.

For instance, you may have a great idea for new product packaging. And maybe your design reduces waste and the need to recycle, thereby saving energy through the elimination of the recycling process. Bingo - a great idea and a tie to energy conservation. Get it?

Just remember, the most unique thoughts and ideas will have the best chance at winning.

Videos must be no longer than 60-seconds in length.

PDF submissions must be no longer than 1000 words. However, photos and diagrams may be presented in an appendix, outside of this word limit.
