From Schneider Electric:

"I encourage you to partner up with a teammate and submit your best idea in our International Challenge: Go Green in the City. For the fourth year in a row, we're asking university students around the world to share their ideas for innovative energy management solutions. Each team should consist of two current university-level students, and to build greater diversity, we require that at least one team member be a woman. The 100 best teams around the world will receive a mentor- an expert from Schneider Electric- to coach them on how to improve their idea further. We'll hold a regional semi-final to narrow down the top teams from North America and will select the teams with the best ideas to travel all-expenses paid to Paris, France for the Finals to present their idea in June 2014. Visit GoGreenintheCity.com to learn more about the competition and see details from the most recent event. Pre-registration for the 2014 competition opened on September 30, and we will be accepting submissions between November 15 through February 15."
