IRFA calls on Iowa high school students to compete in seventh annual ‘fuel the future’ video contest

Students in the US state of Iowa are being encouraged to enter a ‘Fuel the Future’ by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) video contest for a chance to win $1,000 (€961,000).

Students have until 13 January, 2017, to create and submit a video that highlights the benefits of choosing renewable fuels such as E15 and biodiesel.

In addition to the $1,000 grand prize, second and third place entries will receive $600 and $400 prizes respectively. The top three entries will be featured at the 2017 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit on January 31st and on the IRFA YouTube page.

“The video contest is an exciting opportunity for students to learn about the environmental and economic benefits of renewable fuels and earn a little money in the process,” said IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw. “We’ve had some great entries in years past and we can’t wait to see what creative new ways Iowa students come up with to educate consumers on why they should make renewable choices at the pump.”

Students must be in grades 9 through 12 to qualify for the contest.
