Each winner of one of the 16 german states wins the price money of 2,500 euros and additionally has the chance of winning another 2,500 euros via internet voting in a nationwide contest afterwards. The price shall be seen as a reward for climate engagement of the schools, because the infrastructure of schools with their many rooms and high floors create enormous demands of energy.
