Dear Madam/ Sir,

The start of our competition is approaching. On October 1, the Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission will launch the competition “Film4Energy Challenge”, inviting schools across the European Union (EU) to create short videos about the importance of energy efficiency and the benefits of saving energy for their school, commune or city.

What is this competition about?

Students aged 12 to 15 from all EU countries are invited to create a video about how they can save energy in their daily lives, teaching their relatives, friends, neighbours and the whole world about the benefits of energy efficiency and encouraging the use of energy-efficient alternatives for heating, cooling, transport, and other daily activities.

The objective is for the videos to have a positive, educational impact on students, as well as their teachers, families and local communities.

Spread the word

Is your organisation active in the educational, youth and/or energy sector?

The launch of the competition is approaching. Help us spread the word to local schools across Europe and get them to participate in the ”Film4Energy Challenge”.  The winning schools will see their video disseminated across Europe on the European Commission’s official channels, and the best entry will be awarded an energy day organised at the winning school!

The competition will run from October 1, 2021 to February 15, 2022.
