Applications for Clean Energy Trust’s Clean Energy Challenge are now being accepted for the Early Stage Business Challenge or Student Challenge.

The Clean Energy Challenge seeks Midwest clean energy businesses with the potential to bring innovations to the marketplace. Grand prizes of $100,000 will be awarded in each category.

Winners of last year’s Early Stage competition have gone on to receive significant venture funding and are well on their way to becoming sustainable clean energy businesses. Student Challenge competitors will vie for an opportunity to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s first-ever national business competition for university students.

Find eligibility and application information on the Clean EnergyTrust website. Don’t let this opportunity get away. The portal shuts at midnight December 5.
