Dear All,

We are pleased to inform you of a new and important initiative aimed at students, promoted by AzzeroCO2 and the Project Partnership as part of the Horizon SKILLBILL project: the Green Contest.

This competition is open to European students and focuses on two main themes: the use of renewable energy sources and gender equality in STEM subjects and the green economy. The goal of this contest is to raise awareness among young people and encourage debate and reflection on topics of significant social and environmental relevance, while promoting the exchange of various types of creative works.

We believe that actively involving the younger generations is essential for building a more sustainable future. Therefore, we would like to invite your company/school/association (and so on) to support this initiative by promoting it to both teachers and students.

The contest details are as follows:

• Who can participate: Students aged between 6 and 18 years (divided into two age categories).
• Contest themes: a) The use of renewable energy sources; b) Gender equality in STEM subjects and in the green economy.
• How to participate: Each participant may submit an individual or group project (maximum of 4 members per group) in the form of a video (up to 4 minutes), an essay (up to 5 pages), a comic strip, a 3D model, a podcast (up to 4 minutes), a photograph or a photo series (up to 5 photos). Contributions must be submitted in English.
• Submission deadline: February 28, 2025.
• Awards: The best projects will be awarded according to the criteria outlined in the Terms of Reference.

All information and specifics regarding the Green Contest, its organization, and participation procedures can be found on the official Contest website. We remain at your disposal for any further details.
