About the Challenge

mtvU and GE have announced the top ten finalists for the first-ever mtvU GE ecomagination Challenge. The finalists were selected from over one hundred entries that exhibited innovative and viable approaches to greening their campuses.

Check out the top ten projects and vote for your campus or the one that you think has the greatest potential environmental impact. Your votes, along with input from mtvU and GE will determine the winning team, who will receive a $25,000 grant to bring their green dream to life and be featured on mtvU and mtvU.com. The winner's school will receive an mtvU Earth Day Concert with a performance by Angels and Airwaves.
