Green Your School Contest

Student Conservation Association presents the Green Your School Contest.
The Contest is a national competition to stimulate and/or identify
conservation service projects designed by high school students that
improve, restore, beautify, or conserve their high school environment.
There will be one Grand Prize of $5,000 and two runner-up prizes of
$2,500 each. Prizes will be awarded directly to high schools and not to
individuals. For more information and contest rules, visit
