Either individually or as a team they must research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a realistic solution. participants submit a proposal for community judges to review and the top ten entries compete in a verbal competition to win prizes for themselves and their school or club. Classroom presentations and mentorship is provided.
There are two contests in ablerta with over $50,000 in prize money and implementation funding. First place prize in each contest is $1,000 for the team AND a $1,000 for their school/club!
