Based in Portland, Maine, REVERB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in 2004 by environmentalist Lauren Sullivan and her musician husband, Adam Gardner of Guster. Reverb provides comprehensive, custom greening programs for music tours while conducting grassroots outreach and education with fans around the globe. In addition to our greening work with bands and artists, Reverb also works to move forward the sustainable practices of music industry leaders, including venues, record labels, and radio stations.

Now, REVERB is looking for the next green idea! REVERB will conduct its Campus Consciousness Challenge October 24, 2013 through April 1, 2014. The winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize to be used towards the development of an innovative project that has a direct or indirect positive effect on the environment, such as a product, service, campaign, or work of art. Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate course of study at an accredited US institution.

Submissions will be judged based on:

• Achievability – the likelihood that the applicant will make the project a reality with a $10,000 grant
• Potential success – the likelihood of the project growing and succeeding
• Potential measurable positive environmental impact
• Potential awareness impact
