Aims/priorities: The Everyday Energy Competition challenges young people aged 5-11 to create a banner to inspire their community to make small energy saving changes every day. Their design should detail the changes that they will make to uphold their class's Everyday Energy pledge and include an inspirational message to encourage others to get involved.
Who can apply? The competition is open to all schools, or equivalent education organisations, educating children aged 5-11 in the United Kingdom.
Children who are educated outside of a school or equivalent education organisation are welcome to enter the competition, however home education settings are not eligible to win the British Gas Positive Energy Grant.
Grant amount: The first place prize is a British Gas Positive Energy Grant of £5,000 for the winner's school to support them in becoming more sustainable and accessible. The first-place design will also be used to create a banner to be hung at the winner's school site.
There are 25 runner-up prizes available in the form of a British Gas Positive Energy Grant of £500 per runner up school, to fund the activities of their eco-club, eco-council, or other sustainability led education opportunities. The 25 runner-up schools will also receive a banner featuring the winning Everyday Energy Competition design, to hang outside their school.
Application process: Pupils need to design a banner showing small changes which can be made every day to save energy, and an inspirational message to encourage people in their community to make these Everyday Energy swaps.
Applications are made online.
