Why not set it as a homework task?

There will be 15 shortlisted entries, 3 from each age group and 5 national winners, one from each age group.

Shortlisted pupils will be invited to attend a national event where their entries will be showcased.

A winner from each age group, 5 in total, will be chosen from the shortlisted entries and will be announced at the event. Each national winner will have their design turned into a greeting card and receive a £400 prize for their school to spend on energy efficiency products or towards an energy efficiency project. If a winning prize is a short film or media clip it will be promoted on the NEA and Saudi Aramco website.

The idea behind the competition is to get the children thinking creatively about energy efficiency, affordable warmth and the associated environmental agenda.
