Entries are now being accepted for the 4th annual competition from the EPA called P3: People, Prosperity and the Planet Student Design Competition for Sustainability.
EPA will award as many as 50 grants up to $10,000 each to student teams. The money will be used to research and develop sustainable solutions during the 2007-08 academic year. In spring 2008, the teams will be invited to bring their designs to Washington, D.C. to compete for EPA's P3 Award, which includes an additional award worth up to $75,000 to further develop and implement the project in the field.
The P3 competition is open to teams of students attending colleges, universities and other post-secondary educational institutions. Teams have until December 21, 2006 to submit their entry.
