2. ELIGIBILITY.
Project Green Challenge (the “Challenge”) is open to anyone, but only students who are
enrolled at a high school, college or university, graduate school or are home schooled at high school level are eligible to win daily prizes, except officers, directors, advisory board, interns, prior PGC Challenge finalists or winners and employees of Turning Green (the “Sponsor”), or any other party associated with the development or administration of this Challenge, and their immediate family (i.e., parents, children, siblings, spouse), and persons residing in the same household, who are not eligible to participate or win. If you are a minor, you must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to participate in the Challenge. Note: Only students enrolled high school, college or university, or graduate school are eligible to be selected a Challenge Finalist and must be available to travel Nov. 18 – Nov. 23, 2015.
Finalists from prior years and TG interns who wrote PGC challenges are not eligible to participate.

3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE.
Beginning on January 1, 2015 at 6am Pacific Daylight Time, participants can register for Project Green Challenge 2015. Participants can sign up as an individual or a team but you cannot participate as both. If you are participating as a team, please see the following rules:
– Each team can be no more than 4 people; there may be multiple teams from a
particular school but an individual may only register for and participate on one
team. An individual can compete on their own or as a team but not both. All
participants must be registered.
– Any member of the team can upload deliverables each day under the team name.
– If the team wins a prize, the team leader would receive one prize for the team.
– If a team applies and is selected for the Challenge finals at the end of October,
only one person would represent the team and the prize package would be awarded to that person.

Each day at 6am PDT a new challenge theme will be posted. Registered participants will
receive an email with a link to the day’s challenge. There are four (4) different Challenge
Task options each day – green, greener, greenest and extra credit. The specific actions
required for each Challenge Task will be explained on the PGC Website. Each participant must start with the green challenge and then work up to greener, greenest and extra credit. Every task completed is worth points.

Each Challenge will remain live for 24 hours and participants must complete challenge
tasks during that timeframe unless otherwise noted. (Some Challenges are two day challenges and will allow 48 hours to complete. Some Extra Credit Challenges will have longer response periods). Once the next challenge is posted, there is no going back!

Point values will be identified on the challenge and awarded by TG staff based on the
difficulty of the Challenge Task.

Challenge submissions will be judged by TG staff and points awarded based on creativity, content accuracy, and relevance to the theme of the day. Bonus points may be awarded for outstanding work at TG’s discretion.

The points are one of three components to be considered in the selection of Challenge
finalists once the Challenge is completed on October 30. Challenge participants
will be invited to apply for the finals with applications due November 2, 2015.
The application criteria for selection of up to 16 Challenge finalists includes: total cumulative
points from the 30-day challenge (October 1 – October 30), completion of a final exam
developed by PGC Staff and released on October 30, and a 5 minute video recorded by
each applicant highlighting their PGC experience.
Only students enrolled in high school, college or university, or graduate school are eligible to be selected for the Challenge finals and must be available to travel Nov. 18 – Nov. 23, 2015.

4. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION.
Daily Winners: October 1 – 30
Challenge submissions will be awarded points based on creativity, content accuracy, and
relevance to topic, as determined by the Challenge judges. Prizes for individuals or teams
will be distributed proportionally based on number of eligible entries.

Any potential winner (either an individual participant or a team leader) will be notified by
email. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within two (2) days
from the date that the Sponsor first tries to notify him/her, and/or the prize or prize
notification is returned as undeliverable, such potential winner forfeits all rights
to win the Challenge or receive the prize, and an alternate potential winner may be selected
based on the next highest applicable point totals. Upon contacting a potential winner and
determining that he/she has met all eligibility requirements of the Challenge, including a
waiver, and liability release, such individual will be declared a “winner” in the Challenge.
Only students who are enrolled in high school, college or university, graduate school, or are home schooled at the high school level and are a resident of the United States are eligible to win daily prizes.

5. PRIZE DESCRIPTION.

the PGC/TG FB and Twitter platforms. Should the prizes become unavailable, the
Sponsor may select another prize of equal or greater value.

If an individual is chosen as the winner for both the Greener and Greenest Challenge on any given day, the winner may choose either the Greener or Greenest Prize for that day’s Challenge, but may not receive both.

Challenge Finals Prize and Grand Prize
Grand Prize and Finalist Prizes are featured projectgreenchallenge.com/prizes. Should
any of the prizes become unavailable, the Sponsor may select another prize of equal or

For each Submission, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for you to grant the licenses granted in this section, and that such Submission, and your provision thereof to and through the Site, comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
