>> We are looking for teams to use open data to create products that support communities to:
>> 
>> 
>> Group buy their energy and save money;
>> Undertake community based energy efficiency interventions; or
>> Start to generate their own energy
>> 
>> There are just five days to go before applications close for the Challenge. If you want to enter our Challenge and be invited to the Creation Weekend then you must post your project idea onto CollabFinder before the 16th March 2014. The Creation Weekend will take place on 22nd and 23rd March.
>>  
>> We realise that there is only a short time between receiving your application and the weekend itself. We are endeavouring to assess your projects as quickly as possible so that we can let you know in time to make arrangements to attend the weekend in Bristol. You may want to start to make initial travel and accommodation arrangements but please be aware that applying to the Challenge is no guarantee of being accepted to the Challenge Weekend. 
>> 
>> At the end of the Creation Weekend three teams will win £5,000 funding. After an incubation period, those three teams will pitch for the final £40,000 prize pot!
>> 
>> Submit Your Idea
