Schools and competition categories

  1. Can my school participate in more than one category?
    Yes.

  2. Can more than one teacher/class per school participate?
    Yes. For category A - Teachers should collectively submit their results with one single entry (one e-mail), as this part of the competition concerns the entire school and the reduction of energy consumption on a collective level.
    Should they participate in either competition categories B or C, then we would suggest that each teacher/class registers separately for these competitions with their respective e-mail addresses, as these categories are more class based efforts that can be evaluated individually.

  3. My school is not in the EU, can I still participate in U4energy?
    The competition is open to schools from all 27 EU Member States, Croatia, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. If you country is not included in this list, then you may not participate in the competition; however, you may use materials and resources from the U4energy website for your own projects.
