The competition, which is running at the same time as the NCAA college basketball tournament, has three selective rounds cutting schools to a final four before announcing a winner on April 2. The national champion’s sustainability department will win $5,000, and the department chairperson will receive an all expenses-paid trip to attend a sustainability conference in San Diego, where he or she will lead a panel discussion. Two students with the best essay or video submissions, who will be chosen from the group that advanced to the final four, will win netbooks. This is the first March Madness sustainability competition, and it is sponsored by Enviance Inc. , a global provider of environmental solutions, and Environmental Leade Less
