If you're passionate about sustainable energy and you've worked on a project in that field, it's time to harness your creativity and create a poster for your project — you could be rewarded with up to $300.

The Student Projects Poster Competition is being held by St. Lawrence College's Sustainable Energy Applied Research Centre (SERC). At the end of April, SERC is hosting its second annual applied research conference, the Sustainable Energy Symposium, in Kingston, Ontario. The event brings together leading industry players, top educators and visionary government agencies who are positioning Ontario and Canada as the leader in sustainable energy innovation.

The student posters will be displayed at the Symposium. The winning posters will be announced at the Symposium on May 1. The creator of the top poster will receive $300, second place will receive $200, and third place will receive $100. Entrants do not have to attend the Symposium to participate.

The poster must communicate the purpose, intent, process and outcome of your student project. The posters must be 48” x 32” — more detailed guidelines will be emailed out once you or your team has registered.

To register, email Hugh McLaren at hmclarenjr@sl.on.ca — the Subject line must say “SES Poster” and the body of the email must contain your contact information. After registering for the contest, you will receive the full rules and guidelines by email. Posters must be in by April 19.
