Following the 12 p.m. Central deadline on May 30, 2008, entries are no longer being accepted for the 2008 ConocoPhillips Energy Prize.
The entries are now being reviewed by a qualified panel of energy and environmental experts, which will select up to five finalists. Concepts will be judged on the basis of creativity, scalability, commercial viability, and sustainability. Finalists will be announced in August 2008. The finalists will present their concepts at an awards event in October 2008, where the winner and two runners-up will be announced.
Finalists will initially receive $25,000 to help further develop their concepts. The winner will receive an additional $100,000, the first runner-up will receive another $50,000, and the second runner-up will receive another $25,000.
Please check back later this year to learn more about the finalists, winner and runners-up, as well as the 2009 program.
