The US division of the car maker announced today the first round of winners in the competition, all teams who managed to best address the issues raised in the land/water challenge. The list includes a huge number of teams from schools and high schools across the US (the list can be found at the following link) who will battle their ideas for a change to win one of two $30,000 grand prizes and eight $15,000 first-place awards.
The competition, in its next stage, is very simple: the teams must define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report on the results.
“It’s great to see so many different ways the students have delved into their projects,” said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager. “This goes to show that there is a never-ending supply of environmental issues and these students are finding many unique and exceptional ways to take action and improve our environment.”
The next stage of the competition begins this month, with the ideas for the air/climate themed challenge to be submitted by January 19. The winners will be announced in April, when most of the world is celebrating Earth month.
