Green Light Contest - Win a Lab or Laptops!

Enter the "Green Light Contest" and win a state-of-the-art computer lab for your school! The "Green Light Contest" essay competition, sponsored by PC Mall Gov, in partnership with HP, InFocus and T.H.E. Journal, is seeking entries from students in two categories: grades 5 - 8 and 9 - 12.

In essays of 1,000 words or less students are asked to describe how they and their teachers can utilize technology to protect the environment, with the grand-prize-winning composition being awarded a 30-seat "green" computer lab for the author's school. Two additional first place winners (one from each grade-level category) will each receive a "green" laptop. Winning essays will be published in T.H.E. Journal and winners will be recognized at FETC, January 21 - 24, in Orlando, FL.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE is December 1, 2008. You can get more information at http://www.pcmallgov.com/greenlightcontest. SUSD 5th and 6th grade students, use your Student Community blog to post your entry and seek feedback before submitting to make sure it is the best that it can be!

It doesn't look like they are going to make an official announcement. According to the site: "To learn the names of winners, send a self-addressed postage-paid envelope no later than April 15, 2009, to PC Mall Gov, Inc., Attn: Green Light Contest Winner List, 2555 W. 190th Street, Torrance, CA 90504"
