Each school is invited to enter one (1) contest submission, comprised of a footprint that is 10’x10’ or less. The submission may comprise of one or more exhibits but cannot exceed the 10'x'10 footprint. Schools are invited to use their imagination and creativity for their submission.

Entries must be exhibited at the park between 12 Noon and 4 PM. Contest standings will be forfeit if the entry leaves before 4 PM.
Participating schools will create and display their contest submission at Go Green! Greenpoint 2015. A panel of distinguished judges shall select winners based on the contest’s environmental focus, creativity, and overall quality of the 10’x10’ exhibit. All components of the contest submission must be created by the students of the school. There will be 3 contest sections: (a) elementary schools, (b) middle schools, and (c) high schools. Each section must have at least 3 schools. If there are not enough schools in a section, the organizer will collapse or eliminate sections at their discretion.
Winners will be awarded a stupendous teak trophy to display until next year’s Go Green! Sustainability Challenge, a beautiful plaque AND a $1,000 cash prize. In keeping with the environmental theme, the teak trophies will be returned in 2016 to be awarded to next year’s contest winners.
