Last Chance To Be Part Of Australia's Energy Future

Last chance to be part of Australia's energy future

Time is running out for young Australians to take up the challenge of reshaping the nation's energy future.

Tell us how we get there and have a chance to win significant cash prizes.

The Warren Centre's National Energy Essay Competition closes in one month and is offering cash prizes of up to $20,000.

With the support of the national media, the competition will stimulate a new level of debate on where Australia is going - led by those who are going to help make things happen.

The time is right for the next generation to respond to the Garnaut Review, the Federal Government's proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the framework our political leaders propose for the future.

Over 160 young Australian's have already registered either as individuals or in teams - to take up the challenge.

You need to have been under 31 at 30th June 2008 and an Australian citizen or
permanent resident to join them.

All you need to know is on the competition web site at www.neec.org.au.

Register now - entries close on 22nd August 2008.
