* Competition entrants propose ideas for using grid computing to help solve an environmental issue

* Prizes include; free one-year membership to the BCS, a mentor from industry to help the winner progress their idea, a week long internship at the National e-Science Centre at the University of Edinburgh, a Sony VAIO or Xbox 360 and a one-year limited subscription to The 451 Group’s EcoEfficient and Grid services research.

Very cool, this might be a great way of exchanging ideas and best practices in grid technologies, as well as what the possibilities are with the technology, anything we can do to broadcast the gird message has to be a good thing.
