EPA P3: People, Prosperity and the Planet Student Design Competition for Sustainability

EPA's P3 Program is a unique college competition for designing solutions for a sustainable future. P3 offers students quality hands-on experience that brings their classroom learning to life. The competition has two phases. For the first phase of the competition, teams are awarded a $15,000 grant to develop their idea. They bring the design in April to the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington DC to compete for the P3 Award and a grant of $90,000 to take their design to real world application. A panel of judges evaluate each team's design and awards $1,000 to the team that best meets the Youth Council on Sustainable Science and Technology Award criteria.
