Global Green Launches 2nd Green School Makeover Competition

The 2nd “Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition” presented by Pureology launched Jan. 2, giving K-12 schools across the U.S. the chance to enter to win a green makeover, as well as prizes towards sustainability upgrades for runner-ups. Support for the competition was provided by Office Depot. The competition will be open from Jan. 1 to March 31, and winners will be announced in June 2013.

The competition will award one grand prize winning school $75,000 in cash and $65,000 worth of technical assistance to fund their proposed green project(s). The top 10 schools will receive Office Depot gift cards ranging from $1,000 to $5,000.

Parents, teachers and students are encouraged to enter their school over the next few months for a chance to win this once in a lifetime prize. The entry form can be found on the Global Green website. A panel of judges selected by Global Green USA will choose the grand-prize winner and four runners-up.
