The Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy are seeking entries from

Africa and Latin America to compete for a share of £200,000 of prize money.
The Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy - now in their 7th year -highlights
and rewards exemplary and successful examples of sustainable energy use both
in the UK and the developing world. Through the awards scheme and related
activities, the Ashden Awards aim to persuade policy makers, funders and the
wider public to recognise renewable energy and energy efficiency as a
crucial tool for addressing the urgent global issues of climate change,
pollution and energy supply as well as the social and economic needs of
local communities across the globe.
 
The 2007 International Awards will be offering five first prizes of £30,000
each and second prizes of £10,000 each for projects that are using renewable
energy to address one or more of the following areas: Food Security; Health
and Welfare; Light; Education and Enterprise. 

The closing date for entries is 14 Novermber 2006.
 
One of the prizes will be a Special Africa Award in recognition of the
combined challenges of climate change and poverty facing the region and the
vital contribution which local renewable energy can make in tackling both.
 
Existing achievements will be rewarded and funding will be provided for
future expansion. Award-winning schemes must have been operational for at
least one year and must still be active. Successful schemes will be highly
replicable to ensure maximum impact in the battle against climate change.
Award winners are promoted to the media, practitioners and experts in the
field as leading examples of sustainable energy in action at the local
level. The Awards will be presented at a VIP ceremony in London in June
2007.
