Zayed Future Energy Prize, the world’s preeminent award for innovation and development of solutions for renewable and sustainable energy, has announced that nominations are now open for the 2012 global competition.
Nomination forms and registration are located at www.ZayedFutureEnergyPrize.com. Nominations will be accepted through August 22nd. Winners will be recognised on January 17, 2012.
“By honouring the development of new technologies, and their market adoption, our goal is to play a unique role in advancing energy security and sustainability around the world,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Director General of the Zayed Future Energy Prize. “We invite the global energy community to join us in recognizing outstanding achievement by submitting nominations for the 2012 competition.”
Submissions will be judged on four main criteria: Impact, Long-Term Vision, Leadership, and Innovation.
Also, in a move designed to signal the on-going development of the Zayed Future Energy Prize, a fourth category will be introduced in 2012 – an International High School Education Competition with a prize purse of $500,000 to be first awarded in 2013.
