Submission Deadline: January 31st, 2014.

The Regional Student Energy Summits are five simultaneous events that will take place in five countries over two days, and use a multidisciplinary framework to educate, inspire and unite students around the world about energy issues.

The Regional Student Energy Summits are modeled after the wildly successful International Student Energy Summit (ISES).

Competition Question: What role will your region play in the transition to a sustainable energy future?

Write 750 words profiling a daunting challenge that your region currently faces and presenting a road map for a sustainable energy future.

Here are some questions to consider:

1. What is the largest energy challenge that your region is currently facing, or will face in the near future?

2. What are some of the emerging technologies in your region?

3. What innovations are required to transition your region to a sustainable energy future?

4. What does the year 2020 look like? 2030? 2050?

The winner will be selected from each geographic region (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America) corresponding with the upcoming Regional Student Energy Summits. Each regional winner will have their written piece shared on the Student Energy blog.

The overall winner will be selected amongst the five regional winners and their piece will be featured both on the Student Energy blog as well as in the upcoming print issue of the OGM, distributed to a global audience.

Submissions must be emailed to [email protected] with “Writing Competition Entry” in the subject line. Late entries will not be accepted.

The winning entries will be selected by Student Energy and the winners will be notified via email by February 14th.

Student Energy’s newest initiative will bring energy to even more of the world’s students and future leaders. Regional Student Energy Summits will occur June 19-20, 2014 simultaneously on 5 continents. The events will each target 100-300 multi-disciplinary postsecondary students from the region

Student Energy is a global not-for-profit that is creating the next generation of energy leaders committed to transitioning the world to a sustainable future.

Africa Student Energy Summit (ASES) is powered by the Student Energy movement and supported by the Green Shift Africa Forum. This is the first time on African soil when a summit that directly targets young African leaders would be addressing energy issues.

The summit would attract about 300 student delegates from different parts of the continent and beyond, professionals and leaders of industry in the energy sector, academia as well as policy makers and political leaders would converge to debate, deliberate and proffer solutions to one of Africa’s most challenging problems.

According to the World Bank:

“More than a century after the light bulb was invented most of the African continent is still in the dark after nightfall. School children often cannot read after dusk, businesses cannot grow, and clinics cannot refrigerate medicine or vaccines, and industries are idled hampering economic growth, jobs, and livelihoods”

ASES 2014 would be partnering with energy industries and institutions of higher learning to realize this objective. Captains of industries, investors, policy makers and politician would play major roles in this summit.
