EPA launches 2015 Campus RainWorks Challenge

Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is calling for entries in its fourth annual Campus RainWorks Challenge, a green infrastructure design competition for undergraduate and graduate students. Student teams, working with a faculty advisor, will submit design boards, a project narrative, and a letter of support for a green infrastructure project on their campuses. This year, student teams will be encouraged to incorporate climate resiliency into their stormwater management designs.

Registration opens Sept. 1 and ends Sept. 30. Teams must submit their entries by Dec. 18, and winners will be announced on Apr. 22, 2016. First-place teams will earn $2,000 to divide evenly among students, and a faculty prize of $3,000 to support green infrastructure research or training.
