The LowCVP and the Energy Saving Trust have launched the Community Challenge, which offers prizes of up to £5,000 for community based projects promoting low carbon vehicles and fuels or smarter, sustainable travel.
The judges are looking for community groups to submit original ideas that reduce carbon emissions from travel and transport. There are three categories: Vehicles and Fuels, Smarter/Eco Driving and Reducing Car Use. Projects can deliver physical improvements, equipment or technological developments, as well as providing information or setting up a scheme to promote sustainable transport.
The LowCVP Managing Director, Greg Archer, said: ‘We are very excited to launch the Community Challenge, which allow us to recognise and support the achievement of community groups across the UK in helping to accelerate the shift to low carbon vehicles and fuels’.
Entry forms are available via the LowCVP website. The deadline for entries is 4th June 2010.
The winners will be announced at the LowCVP conference on July 14-15 2010. For the purposes of the competition, a community can be defined as a group or society either in a physical place, or operating virtually.
The Community Challenge is funded by the Low CVP and Energy Saving Trust, and supported by ACT Travelwise, Global Action Plan, liftshare, the RAC Foundation and WhatGreenCar.com.

Note: For the purposes of this competition, we define ‘community’ in its broadest sense: as a group or society operating in a physical place or ‘virtually’ through on-line or other communication. Whilst we will not support profit making activity, a business that has a project targeting its employees or other businesses in the local area may be eligible. Schools, Scout and Guide groups and other young people’s organisations are also eligible.
