The Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy are calling for entries from inspirational schools within the UK that can prove that the promotion of sustainable energy and the responsible use of energy is a central part of their practice and culture. Closing date for entries is Tuesday 4 December 2007.
The Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in Schools is open to any UK school (primary or secondary) which has created a sustainability ethos in which the responsible use of energy is a crucial element. Improving energy efficiency within the school premises, integrating sustainable energy throughout the curriculum and involving pupils in the promotion and use of sustainable energy should be central to the school’s approach. (Note that it is NOT essential for a school to have renewable energy generation on-site in order to be eligible for this award).
In 2008 the Ashden Awards are delighted to be again offering a schools award, with a first prize of £15,000 and a second prize of £5,000.
Winning schools must demonstrate successful practices that can be replicated elsewhere and have clear plans for how to use the prize money to take further their own work on sustainable energy.
The Awards will be presented at a ceremony in London in June 2008.
