UIMF in connection with UVU has issued high school essay contest in recognition of 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. The aim of this UIMF essay competition and workshop is to reach out to the high school students of the region and inform them of the energy problems that exist in mountainous regions around the world. An additional aim is to suggest how they might become part of the global mountain community working on these issues under the umbrella of the United Nations sponsored agenda of Sustainable Mountain Development.
A panel of judges will read submissions and select finalists to present their papers at the workshop. A monetary prize will be awarded for the top three papers. All participants (schools, professors & students) will be awarded by special certificates of participation on behalf of the United Nations-related Mountain Partnership in Rome, Italy.
Essays must be submitted on or before March 16, 2012. Please send completed papers in electronic form to Dr. Keith Snedegar, e-mail: snedegke@uvu.edu, 801-863-8847, or Jesler Molina, e-mail: uvumun11@hotmail.com, 801-427-4292.
