The Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) wants to reward Nebraska students who promote energy efficiency with a new iPad.

The NPPD is sponsoring a contest that asks students to submit a video that cleverly promotes energy efficiency.  Students who would like to compete in the contest, have to produce a 27-second video touting energy efficiency.  The contest is open to all Nebraska students in grades seven through 12, and the submissions will be judged by a panel of industry experts.  The producer of the winning video will receive an iPad.

NPPD’s Chad Johnson says the utility is looking for creative ways to encourage people to save energy.

Details about the contest are available online at www.nppd.com/videochallenge.
