For the Clean Energy Ecosystem and Manufacturing Ecosystem Tracks: you have less than two weeks to your final submission deadline! Start gathering your resources and hitting 'Submit' on HeroX for a chance to win $10,000 and a piece of the $1.5M and $500K Grand Prizes. We highly recommend getting all materials prepared and submitted well before Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. ET to avoid any network difficulties or long upload times. 

Here’s what a complete submission package should include: 

  1. Impact Report 
  2. Resources for Public Dissemination 

For more details what to include in each item, review the Official Rules document. If you have questions on how to best craft your submission, reach out to a Power Connector, they’re here to help you. If you’re having technical difficulties ahead of the submission deadline, email the prize team at communityenergy@nrel.gov. 

For all of our competing teams and general followers of the competition, you are invited to join the free CEI Summit! See the event landing page for full information, including registration and travel logistics.

Best of luck!
