The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released the contest rules for its second annual Campus RainWorks Challenge, a prize contest launched in 2012 to encourage innovative approaches to storm water management.
The challenge engages the next generation of urban planners, designers and engineers in the development of innovative green infrastructure systems to meet our nation’s growing water infrastructure needs.
Student teams, working with a faculty adviser, will submit design briefs and a video describing a proposed green infrastructure project for their campus.
This year, EPA invites teams to compete in two categories: a Master Plan category and a Site Design category. Registration for the challenge opens Sept. 9, 2013 and entries must be submitted by Dec. 13, 2013, for consideration. Winning teams will earn a cash prize of $1,000 to $2,000.
