The U4energy portal officially launched three different competitions for submission in September 2010, aiming at enhancing energy efficiency in schools. The three competitions invite teachers and pupils to think about their daily consumption habits, taking action to optimize energy resources. Below, you will find an outline of the competition categories.

Teachers and pupils can decide to engage in one or more categories, according to the participation requirements. Teachers should consult the guidelines for participants before planning how best to integrate the U4energy competition in the school curricula. Pupils are warmly encouraged to start saving energy by regularly checking the U4energy portal for smart tips about energy efficiency.

	A:	Energy efficiency measures at school
	B:	Best pedagogical actions to raise awareness on efficient energy use
	C:	Best awareness raising campaign on energy efficiency

Schools will be able to submit entries from April 2011. Entries must be submitted through the U4energy website by a teacher/supervisor on behalf of a school by midnight GMT on 16 May, 2011.
