Contest offers "green" computer lab

Inspire your middle and high school students to be leaders in the Green Schools movement, and your school could win a state-of-the-art computer lab! The "Green Light Contest" essay competition, sponsored by PC Mall Gov, in partnership with HP, InFocus and T.H.E. Journal, is seeking entries from students in two categories: grades 5-8 and 9-12.

In essays of 1,000 words or less, students are asked to describe how they and their teachers can use technology to protect the environment, with the grand-prize-winning composition being awarded a 30-seat "green" computer lab for the author's school. Two additional first place winners (one from each grade-level category) will each receive a "green" laptop. Winning essays will be published in T.H.E. Journal and winners will be recognized at FETC, January 21-24, in Orlando, FL.

The entry deadline is December 1, 2008. For complete essay and submission criteria, visit the contest webpage.
