When can I submit my entry/entries?
  • From April 2011 – up until midnight GMT on 16 May, 2011
How can I submit my entry/entries?
  • Through an online form on the U4energy website (coming soon!)
  • Entries must be submitted by a teacher/supervisor on behalf of a school
  • Entries may be submitted in all official EU languages + HR & NO
  • Title & representative summary must be translated in either DE/EN/FR.
  • Only actions/measures implemented during the competition period will be considered eligible, i.e. September 2010 – May 2011.
A school can submit entries for all competition categories. Teachers should consult the guidelines for participants before planning how best to integrate the U4energy competition in the school curricula. If a school is already conducting energy savings and/or involved in an energy project, then this is a great opportunity for them to be rewarded for the great work they are already doing and gain recognition at European level.
