All U.S. based schools Pre-K – 12 are eligible to apply*.

Schools will submit a formal write-up, proposed budget, and design of their outdoor learning classroom/space.

Project Green Schools will invite the top five designs to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges in Spring 2022 to determine the $10,000 winner.

This challenge will honor, collaborate with, and recognize outstanding school groups in a virtual pitch event.
