Postcode Lottery Green Challenge offers 500,000 euros
Howard Lake | 9 June 2010 | News
For the fourth consecutive year, people and organisations around the world are invited to send in their ideas for reducing CO2 emissions to the Postcode Lottery Green Challenge. The best sustainable product or service will win €500,000. Two runners-up will each win €100,000.
If your green product or service combats the production of greenhouse gases and scores high on design, user-friendliness and quality, you could win. Each entrant to the Postcode Lottery Green Challenge must submit a detailed business plan so that the Challenge’s expert jury can determine whether the idea is viable.
In late September, the seven finalists will present their ideas to an international expert jury and an audience of invited guests at the multiday cross-media conference PICNIC’10. The winner will also be introduced to potential customers and business partners.

Last year’s winner was from the UK: Dean Gregory runs The Power Collective, which makes all-but-invisible windmills for use on peaked roofs.
