BOSTON – NorthEast Electrical Distributors’ Project Green Lights 2011, a program designed to promote energy efficiency, has announced this year’s community sweepstakes for K-12 schools across New England. This contest will give schools the chance to win $50,000 in energy efficient products and installation.

The Project Green Lights Sweepstakes is open to any public schools in all cities and towns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Entry into this contest, which began Sept. 6 and ends Oct. 24, will only be accepted from an authorized town or city school representative such as school principals, school district representatives or superintendents.

Authorized representatives may nominate more than one school within their jurisdiction but each must be a separate entry in this contest.

To be a valid entry in this contest, the online entry form must identify by name the public school being nominated by that entry. The questionnaire and paragraph describing why the school deserves to win must also be completed. All final prizes must be accepted by the superintendent’s office.

On or about Nov. 1, one winner will be randomly selected from all entries received to be the potential grand prize winner, subject to verification of eligibility and completion of all required paperwork. The authorized representative listed on the winning entry form will be contacted by phone by a station representative on or about Nov. 1.
