The Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership and Energy Saving Trust today launched the Community Challenge which offers prizes of up to £5,000 for community based projects promoting low carbon vehicles and fuels or smarter, sustainable travel.
Entry forms can be accessed through the LowCVP website by clicking here. The deadline for entries is 4th June 2010.
The judges are looking for community groups to submit original ideas that reduce carbon emissions from travel and transport.
There are three categories: Vehicles and Fuels, Smarter/Eco Driving and Reducing Car Use. Projects can deliver physical improvements, equipment or technological developments, as well as providing information or setting up a scheme to promote sustainable transport.
Low CVP Managing Director, Greg Archer, said "We are very excited to launch the Community Challenge, which allow us to recognise and support the achievement of community groups across the UK in helping to accelerate the shift to low carbon vehicles and fuels."
The Community Challenge is supported by WhatGreenCar.com, ACT TravelWise, Global Action Plan and the RAC Foundation.
The winners will be announced at the LowCVP conference in July 2010. For the purposes of the competition, a community can be defined as a group or society either in a physical place, or operating virtually.
